CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Mid-American Conference office has authorized the release of the MAC Academic Honor Roll for the 2002-03 academic year, and four members of the Bowling Green State University gymnastics team were among those honored. The BGSU athletic department had a total of 122 student-athletes selected.
To be eligible, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher. True freshmen and first-year transfers are not eligible, as a student-athlete must have attended the institution for an entire year to qualify for the award.
For the Falcon gymnasts, the four honorees include senior Kathy Emerson and sophomores Kristin DiPietro, Kari Elste and Kelly Kropko. (Note: each player's year of eligibility reflects the 2002-03 academic year).
The 2002-03 Falcons of head coach Dan Connelly placed fourth at the MAC Championships with a season-high score of 195.175.
BGSU's list of honorees follows. The cumulative GPA figures for each student-athlete are through the fall, 2002, semester, as the nominations were made before the conclusion of the spring, 2003, semester.
