Twenty Huskers Earn Spot on Big 12 Honor Roll

Twenty current and former Husker swimmers and divers earned a spot on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the fall semester, awarded to student-athletes who post a grade-point-average of 3.0 or higher during the semester.

 

Former Husker Adrienne Goodman joined 19 current Huskers on the list, led by Julie Giehl and Kelsey Ida, who both achieved perfect 4.0 GPAs for the semester. The honor marks Giehl’s third time in three semesters, including her second time with a perfect 4.0 GPA. Ida made it five-for-five with her nomination, including her impressive fourth time with a perfect 4.0 GPA.

 

Seniors Courtney Jolly (8th time on Honor Roll), Jenna Stroud (4th), Jenny Toler (6th) and Christina Yemm (7th) were all named to the Honor Roll, along with five swimmers each from the Nebraska junior, sophomore and freshmen classes.

 

A total of 324 Nebraska student-athletes earned spots on the 2008 Fall Big 12 Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll, including 38 Huskers who posted perfect 4.0 grade-point averages.

 

The swimming and diving team recently finished up its regular season with a 3-4 dual record, and is preparing for the Big 12 Championships in Columbia, Mo., on Feb. 25-28.
