Juggling being an athlete and a college student is far from easy. The demands of integrating athletic competition, academic success and personal growth are challenging. But these four Spartan athletes and soon-to-be graduates have proven to be champions both in the classroom and in their sport.
This year, a record 182 UNC Greensboro student-athletes were named to the 2020-21 Southern Conference academic honor roll, including Katie Stettler, Jillian Felton, Stephanie Meysembourg, and Aiyanah Tyler-Cooper.
In addition, the Spartans had 68 student-athletes earn a commissioners’ medal with 16 of them earning a 4.0 grade point average, including Stettler and Meysembourg.
And outside of the classroom, the four athletes have surpassed both personal and program records, leading their teammates to victory on multiple occasions.
