Dec. 18, 2008
A contingent of 15 UC Davis student-athletes from five teams earned 2008 Big West Fall Academic All-Conference honors, the league office announced on Wednesday.
To be eligible for All-Academic honors, a student-athlete must hold a 3.2 cumulative grade-point average, complete one full academic year at the member institution prior to the season (i.e. sophomore academic standing), and compete in at least 50 percent of his or her team's contests.
In all, 122 student-athletes from nine member institutions were honored in the conference's five fall sports: women's volleyball, men's and women's cross country; and men's and women's soccer.
UC Davis men's cross country had six of the 17 total honorees in that sport. Alphabetically, the Aggie winners are David Buscho, K.C. Cody, Chris Harland-Dunaway, Scott Himmelberger, Tyler Rattray and Calvin Thigpen. UC Davis and UC Irvine tied for the most honorees in men's cross country, while four other schools accounted for the remaining five.
The Aggies had three of the 19 honorees in volleyball, namely Julie King, Carson Lowden and Avreeta Singh. UC Davis' Gabina Bohlman and Sarah Peters found their names among the whopping 37 All-Academic winners in women's soccer, while seniors Dan Campbell and Dylan Curtis represented the Aggies among the 14 men's soccer honorees. Kaitlin Gregg and Alison Stoakley made the 35-person women's country honor roll.
Singh and Curtis previously were selected as the UC Davis honorees for the Big West Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year program in 2007-08.
