Student-Athletes Honored for All-Academic, All-Sportsmanship

Ninety-four Wesleyan student-athletes were honored for their excellence in the classroom when the NESCAC announced its 2016-17 Winter All-Academic Team on March 9, while eight others were named to the All-Sportsmanship Team.

To be honored on the All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must have reached sophomore academic standing and be a varsity letter winner with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.40. A transfer student must have completed one year of study at the institution.

The women’s indoor track & field team led the way for the Cardinals with 19 selections, followed by men’s ice hockey with 16, women’s swimming & diving with 11, women’s ice hockey with 10, men’s indoor track & field with nine, and men’s swimming & diving with eight.
The squash teams put a combined 10 student-athletes on the list while the basketball teams placed eight student-athletes on the team. Two members of the wrestling squad also garnered All-Academic honors. (The full list of recipients is below)

The All-Sportsmanship Team is composed of one student-athlete from each institution for each sport, and is selected by the players and coaches from their respective team for their positive contributions to sportsmanship. It recognizes student-athletes from each varsity sport who have demonstrated outstanding dedication to sportsmanship. These student-athletes exhibit respect for themselves, teammates, coaches, opponents, and spectators. They display sportsmanship not only as a participant in their sport but also as a spectator and in their everyday lives.

Representing Wesleyan on the All-Sportsmanship Team is Sophia Antonio ’19 (Women’s Swimming and Diving), Tara Berger ’19 (Women’s Basketball), Sam Curran ’17 (Women’s Ice Hockey), Chad Elliott ’18 (Men’s Basketball), Rob Harbison ’17 (Men’s Ice Hockey), Alex Kamisher ’17 (Men’s Squash), Abigail Smith ’17 (Women’s Squash) and Aidan Winn ’18 (Men’s Swimming and Diving).
