Andrews Named Patriot League's Women's Outdoor Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Navy's two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American Kirsten Andrews (New Holland, Pa.) has been selected the Patriot League Women's Outdoor Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year, while 13 other Midshipmen were named to league's academic honor roll, it was announced by the league office on Wednesday morning.
Andrews is the first two-time Patriot League Women's Outdoor Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year selection in program history and the fourth in league history, as she first earned the honor during the 2006 campaign. The recent graduate was also recognized as the 2007 Patriot League Women's Indoor Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year during the winter. She has been named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll during each of her four years in Annapolis.
An ESPN The Magazine First-Team Academic All-American this year, Andrews maintained a 3.91 cumulative grade point average while majoring in quantitative economics. She posted a 4.0 grade point average during each of her final-four semesters and graduated 37th out of her class of 1046. She was named to the Superintendent's List each of the last-four semesters and was honored on the Commandant's List during all eight of her semesters in Annapolis. This past spring, she was one of 29 females in the country to earn a NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship, which she will use while doing graduate studies in the field of operations research at the University of Delaware.
Athletically, Andrews broke four school records during her senior campaign and graduated from the Academy holding six program records. She earned First-Team All-Patriot League honors in three events this outdoor season (110-meter hurdles, pole vault, long jump) and was named the Patriot League Field Athlete of the Meet at the 2007 outdoor championship. At the 2007 NCAA East Region Championship, she tied for eighth place in the pole vault, the highest finish by a Navy competitor in school history.
Among the total of 167 student-athletes honored by the Patriot League, 13 posted a 4.00 spring semester grade-point average, with Navy and Bucknell each leading the way with three apiece. Joining Andrews among the select list are rising senior Vicki Moore (Burke, Va.) and rising sophomore Jenny Rubin (Papillion, Neb.). Moore, an information technology major, has been named to the league’s academic honor roll in each of her three years at Navy.
Also earning Patriot League Academic Honor Roll distinction for the third time during their careers are recent graduate Allison Barlow (Orange Park, Fla.) and rising senior Stefanie Peskosky (Charlotte, N.C.). Two-time league academic honor roll members include rising seniors Michelle Bostic (Rockwall, Texas), Lauren Burmeister (Brownsdale, Minn.) and Kyleigh Millhouse (Boiling Springs, Pa.).
Rising seniors Arwyn Becker (Avon, Colo.), Joanna Clark (Harpers Ferry, W.Va.) and Liz Hall (Erie, Pa.), rising juniors Katie Berkey (Tempe, Ariz.) and Maureen Dooley (Durham, Conn.) and rising sophomore Jessica Schlaegel (Nashport, Ohio) each made their first-career appearance on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
To be eligible for the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, a student-athlete must earn a varsity letter while maintaining at least a 3.20 grade-point average during the spring semester.
