Carter, the 2007 Nebraska Female Student Athlete of the Year, was included on the academic all-district team for the first time. A three-time NACGC Scholastic All-American, she completed her Husker career at the NCAA Championships last month, helping NU to a sixth-place national finish. After being named to the Dean’s List and Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll every semester, Carter received her bachelor’s degree in business administration in May 2007.

 

The Bryn Athyn, Pa., native was a second-team All-American on floor and a two-time All-Big 12 performer on vault and bars, highlighting a career that included three first-team academic all-conference nods.

 

Carter and Reimers were among student-athlete nominees from eight schools nominated for the CoSIDA Academic All-District VII Women’s At-Large squad. The 10 District VII female student-athletes compiled an average grade-point average of 3.93.
