41 Bates students named NESCAC Fall All-Academic
HADLEY, Mass. — Forty-one Bates College students from Bates’ fall sports teams have received 2011 NESCAC Fall Academic honors, announced Friday by the New England Small College Athletic Conference.
To be honored, a student-athlete must have reached sophomore academic standing and be a varsity letter winner with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.35. A transfer student must have completed one year of study at the institution. Beginning this academic year, sophomores are eligible to receive recognition on the All-Academic team.
Bates’ list includes one All-NESCAC performer in his sport, men’s cross country junior Andrew Wortham (Newton, Mass.). Wortham is also one of three All-New England Region cross country runners from Bates on the list: from the women’s team, junior Alicia Fannon (Haverhill, Mass.) and from the men’s team, senior Devin Dilts (Roscoe, Ill.).
