Tigers place 42 on SCAC fall honor roll

Slightly more than half of the CC student-athletes competing in sports sponsored by the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference earned a spot on the SCAC Honor Roll for excellence in the classroom during the 2009 fall semester.
Forty-two of 83 Tigers were honored for posting a minimum grade-point average of 3.25 for the semester. The men’s cross country and men’s soccer teams had the most players honored with 13 apiece.
 The volleyball team had the highest percentage of athletes recognized, with nine of 16 players earning the distinction, just slightly ahead of the men’s and women’s cross country teams which had half of their rosters honored.
Ten CC student-athletes earned all-conference honors for their accomplishments in competition and the classroom – Meredith Ballard (volleyball); Jackson Brainerd (cross country); Trevor Cobb (soccer); Brian Engle (soccer); Dan Kraft (cross country); Emily Perkins (volleyball); Jordan Reese (soccer); Amy Schornack (volleyball); Andrew Wagner (cross country); and David Wilder (cross country).
“It is wonderful for the SCAC to recognize not only the athletic ability of our students but also recognize their exceptional work in the classroom,” said Director of Athletics Ken Ralph. “We have high expectation of our students and they meet the challenge at every opportunity.”
