The New England Small College Athletic
Conference (NESCAC) announced its 2006-07 Winter All-Academic selections.
Twenty-seven Wesleyan student-athletes received the honor.
To be honored, a student-athlete must have reached junior academic standing
and be a varsity letter-winner with a cumulative grade point average of at
least 3.35. A transfer student must have completed one year of study at the
institution."At Wesleyan, athletics is
to be an integral part of the overall educational enterprise," says Wesleyan
Director of Athletics John Biddiscombe. "The All Academic NESCAC
scholar-athletes are an outstanding example of how well athletics integrates
with the academic program."
Ellen Davis ’07 was named a “notable member” of the Winter All-Academic
team. Davis, a member of the Cardinal Indoor Track and Field Team, won the
individual title in the 5,000-meter event at the 2007 NCAA National Indoor
Track and Field Championships on March 10 in Terre Haute, Ind. Davis, who is
majoring in women’s studies, was named to the Winter All-Academic Team last
year and has also earned All-Academic recognition in the fall of 2006 for
Cross Country and spring of 2006 for Outdoor Track and Field.
