LINCOLN ? The Nebraska track and field teams were honored for their success in the classroom this week when 66 current and former student-athletes earned recognition on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Spring Honor Roll. Athletes must earn a 3.0 grade-point average to qualify for the award.
Thirty-three Husker women’s athletes were recognized for their academic accomplishments, including a staggering nine with perfect 4.0 grade-point averages: Channing Anseth, Ari Goldstein, Jenny Green, Bridget Meduna, Betsy Miller, Justine Roach, Anne Shadle, Kim Shubert and Jeni Steiner.
Several Husker women made the honor roll for the eighth consecutive semester, including Sara Jane Baker, Ashlee Dickinson, Nicole Kadyszewski, Michaela Lenihan, Ashley Selig, Shadle and Steiner.
Junior Issar Yazhbin led a men’s track and field group of 33 honorees, as he posted a perfect 4.0 GPA during the spring for the fifth consecutive semester. Former Husker Eric Rasmussen and current NU pole vaulter Danny Tylka earned recognition for the eighth straight semester, and ninth overall, while Lee Martin and Aaron Plas also made their eighth straight honor rolls.
Overall, Nebraska had 248 student-athletes named to the fall honor roll, including 37 who produced perfect 4.0 GPAs during the fall semester.
