Huskers Place 20 on Big 12 Commissioner?s Honor Roll

The <?xml:namespace prefix="st1" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"?>Nebraska swimming and diving team was well represented on the most recent Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll as 20 members earned the honor for the fall 2006 semester.<?xml:namespace prefix="o" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"?>

 

The number marks the most for the swimming and diving team in head coach Pablo Morales’ six-year career, surpassing the 18 that earned the required 3.0 grade-point average in the fall of 2005.

 

Eleven seniors led the Huskers, including three who have completed their eligibility but are still enrolled in classes at the University of Nebraska (Amie Buoy, Kate Dulgar, Becky Johnson).

 

Emilee Crawford led the current senior class as she was named to the Big 12 team for the seventh consecutive semester. Lauren Bailey, Bailey Ingles, Casey Schnack and Danielle Stansbury all earned their sixth honors, Katie Bowden picked up her fourth award in five semesters after transferring from the University of South Carolina in 2004.

 

The underclassmen were also impressive as six freshmen were named to the team in their first semesters at Nebraska in Kaitlin Arntz, Sarah Broker, Colleen Criss, Mariah Hutchinson, Kelsey Ida and Sarah Ziegelmann. Ida earned a perfect 4.0 GPA, one of only 33 who accomplished the feat across Nebraska’s 23 varsity sports. Johnson and Abby Fitzpatrick, a former NU diver, also had 3.0 grade-point averages.

 

A pair of juniors and sophomores were named to the team as well in Dani Millis and Kaci Ressler and Christina Yemm and Courtney Jolly. Millis has been on the Big 12 Commissioner’s for seven straight semesters, while Yemm and Ressler have also earned a 3.0 each semester at Nebraska.

 

Nebraska had a total of 270 honorees on the 2006 Big 12 Commissioner’s Fall Honor Roll.
