Vandal runner garners academic honor

Junior cross-country runner Tania Vander Meulen has been selected an Academic All-American.

The award was given to sophomores, juniors or seniors who kept a 3.25 GPA and finished in the top 15, or top 10 percent, in their region.

“This is a tribute to Tania’s hard work,” head coach Wayne Phipps said. “Not only in cross country, but also in the classroom.”

Vander Meulen is majoring in nutrition.

Women’s cross country named to All-Academic ranks

The 2002-03 University of Idaho women’s cross-country team earned All-Academic honors with distinction.

The Vandals ranked 27th in the nation with a team GPA of 3.47. A 3.00 average was required for All-Academic honors, while 3.25 was required for honors with distinction.

“They came through with flying colors. It was kind of a perfect season for us,” head coach Wayne Phipps said. “We almost couldn’t ask for more. It just shows a perfect balance.”

The Vandals, who won the 2002 Big West Championship, ranked highest among Big West teams.
