San Bruno, CA - The 2006 West Coast Conference Spring All-Academic teams honor some of the league's finest examples of the consummate scholar-athlete. At the completion of each athletic season, the WCC selects an all-academic squad for each of the participating sponsored sports. To be considered, a student-athlete must earn at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average, while also being a significant contributor to his or her team.
"These honorees represent the commitment of WCC student-athletes to both academic and athletic excellence," said WCC Commissioner Michael Gilleran. "Every year, it's a difficult process to narrow the long list of qualified nominees from each institution. All of those nominated should be proud of their achievements."
Saint Mary's had 11 players earn All-Academic honors during the spring, including four from women's tennis in Kate Harden, Jessica Hoath, Aude Lambert and Stef Ordoveza.
Men's tennis, baseball and women's rowing had two players each in Yury Platonov, Julien Tizot, Orben Frederick, Adam Hicks, Lindsey Anderson and Amy Bellman. Michael McRae from golf rounds out the All-Academic list.
