WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Nearly 25 percent of the Cal Poly Pomona student-athlete population earned California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) All-Academic honors, commissioner Robert J. Hiegert announced this week.
The Broncos' women's track and field squad featured 10 recipients, including Cynthia Acedo, Tiffany Dinh, Sarah Gulli, Johanna Murray, Lauren Parr, Diana Zapata, Anne Eagleton, Denise Salceda, Elizabeth Soria and Nicolle Spann.
A total of 43 CPP student-athletes received the conference's academic honor, the most for the Broncos since the start of the CCAA award program in 2005-06 and the third-highest amount in the league this year. Ahead of the Broncos in the rankings were UC San Diego (84) and Cal State Monterey Bay (47).
In order to earn All-Academic status, student-athletes must maintain a grade point average of 3.40 or higher over a course load of at least 36 quarter units. They also must be a letter winner on one of the CPP's 10 intercollegiate athletic teams.
The Broncos' volleyball team, which combined for a department-best grade point average of 3.31 during the 2010-11 school year, proved to be well-represented on the CCAA All-Academic list as well. Seven of head coach Rosie Wegrich's players were featured: Courtney Alberi, Camille Bulot, Katie Colin, Taylr Kreutziger, Diana Lake, Sinead Palmer and Lindsey Poulos.
Two of the Broncos' five NCAA Division II All-Americans of this past season received CCAA All-Academic distinction: Reyana Colson of the women's basketball squad and Lance Walkington of men's track and field.
