RELEASE DATE: 7/12/2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Mansfield Has Record Number of PSAC Scholar Athletes in 2005-06 Season The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) released the 2006 Scholar Athletes this afternoon. Mansfield had a record high 59 student-athletes named as PSAC Scholar Athletes for the 2006 season. To be eligible for the scholar-athlete awards, student-athletes must attain at least a 3.25 cumulative grade point average while competing in an intercollegiate varsity sport. The 1,579 scholar-athletes earning the honor this year account for approximately one quarter of the 5,300 + student-athletes in the PSAC. PSAC Commissioner Murray will award each scholar-athlete with a certificate of distinction. “It never ceases to amaze me the dedication our institutions and their athletics programs have toward producing quality student-athletes," said Murray . “While I am happy to see our schools perform on a high level athletically, I am most pleased with another year of outstanding production from an academic standpoint.” Mansfield’s honorees are highlighted by three outstanding student-athletes, Chris Cummings, Charity Walker, and Ryan Wyland. These three athletes were named to the prestigious Spring Top Ten, a select group of student-athletes that exemplify outstanding athletic performances, as well as academic performances. Cummings was also named to the Winter Top Ten, while Walker was named to the Fall Top Ten. Below is a list of all 58 PSAC Scholar Athletes
