Student-Athletes of the Month - October 2008
Four Wildcat student-athletes have been cited for their work during October, earning Student-Athlete of the Month honors.
The students were selected by the C.A.T.S. Academics staff based on four different criteria - outstanding effort, demonstrated improvement, overall academic performance and consistent citizenship through personal character, integrity and role-model actions.
The honorees, the third group for the 2008-09 school year:
Softball freshman Kristen Arriola, men's golfer Kenji Hernandez, distance runner Hannah Moen and basketball junior Fendi Onobun.
"Our academic support staff has made terrific progress invigorating both our approach and the student-athletes' performance. This citation points to individuals who have stepped up and made a difference, both for themselves and for the health of our department," said UA athletics director Jim Livengood. "Every month it's a pleasure to see who's who in the classroom."
