MACON, Ga. – Northern Kentucky University student-athletes were recognized for their success in the classroom by the Atlantic Sun Conference on Monday, the league office announced.
After completing NKU's first season at the NCAA Division I level, 148 student-athletes received A-Sun All-Academic honors for their performance in the classroom during the 2012-13 academic year. The recognition is awarded to student-athletes who earn a minimum 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale during the school year.
Lucas Edelan (men's soccer), Jaimie Hamlet (women's basketball), Clare Field (women's cross country/track & field), Nathan Sextion (men's soccer), and Taylor Snyder (volleyball) were included on a list of 114 student-athletes to earn a perfect 4.0 for 2012-13.
There were four NKU student-athletes named to both the Commissioner's Scholar and Presidents' Scholar lists: Michael Bartlett (men's soccer), Andre Correa (men's tennis), Kelsey Gaffney (women's cross country/track & field), and Cassie Lingenhoel (women's soccer). To be placed on both lists, student-athletes must have completed their final year of eligibility, received their degree during the academic year and posted a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.6 and 3.8, respectively.
In addition, 53 Norse made the Conference Scholar list, which was awarded to 497 individuals. Student-athletes must be at least of sophomore standing with a minimum 3.4 cumulative GPA during the academic year to be named to the list.
