SWOSU Annouces Student-Athlete Honor

January 9, 2007

WEATHERFORD – Southwestern Oklahoma State University recognized 93 student-athletes who obtained a high level of success in the classroom during the fall 2006 semester. The SWOSU scholar-athlete program recognizes those students with at least a 3.0 grade point average (4.0 scale) and 12 or more hours during the semester. Each student was counted only once, although some student-athletes participated in two or more sports.

“It is an honor to recognize these student-athletes who exemplify what the college experience is all about,” Cecil Perkins, SWOSU Athletic Director, said. “Their commitment to excellence on and off the playing field is inspiring and should serve as an example to all.”

The following is a hometown breakdown of the SWOSU Scholar Athletes for the 2006 fall semester. Those indicated by an “*” are students who made all A’s during the term.
