AUSTIN, Texas — A quartet of University of Texas student-athletes have been named recipients of the fourth annual Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award, the Big 12 Conference's highest academic honors. Baseball sophomore John Curtiss, Rowing seniors Jessica Glennie and Johanna Neuber and Swimming senior Reid Walker earned the prestigious accolade.
In order to be eligible for the accolade, student-athletes must have lettered at least once in their career while maintaining residence at their institution for at least one academic year. The honoree, which can only be recognized once, should have 100 hours of earned credit with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.80 at the time of the nomination.
The award is in memory of Lage, who served as the Oklahoma State faculty athletics representative with the NCAA and the Big Eight/Big 12 Conference from 1983 until his death in 2007.
The Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award recipients will receive public recognition at the upcoming Phillips 66 Big 12 Basketball Championships.
