CLEVELAND --- The Mid-American Conference announced its 2004 gymnastics Academic All-MAC team Tuesday, as voted by faculty athletic representatives at MAC institutions. The team honors five student-athletes.
One student-athlete joins the Academic All-MAC team for the second consecutive year. Eastern Michigan's Leah Hashimoto was also named to the 2003 Academic All-MAC team.
Three student-athletes honored for their academic achievements also received All-MAC status in 2004. Central Michigan's Kara Reighard and Kent State's Earline Feugill were first-team All-MAC honorees, while Hashimoto received second-team All-MAC accolades.
Rounding out the 2004 Academic All-MAC team are Ball State's Courtney Vojtasek and Northern Illinois' Ashlee Williams.
The Academic All-MAC honor is for a student-athlete who has excelled in athletics and academics. To qualify, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA and have participated in at least 50 percent of the contests for that particular sport.
