Zalucka Named Cross Country Academic All American.

Women's Team Earns "All-Academic Cross Country Team with Distinction" Designation

Adriana Zalucka's stellar accomplishments in the fall were not confined to cross country. On the basis of her academic and athletic success she was named to the 2002-2003 Academic All America team by the Women's Intercollegiate Cross Country Coaches Association. To be named an Academic All American an individual had to achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher and to place in the top 15 at the regional meet. Zalucka, a sophomore economics major, has a 3.80 GPA and placed 8th in the Great Lakes Regional meet and 49th at the NCAA Championships.

Zalucka was not the only member of the cross country team to perform well in the classroom. The women's team was named an All Academic Cross Country Team for the fourth consecutive year. The team's 3.49 GPA was tops among Akron's fall sports teams and ranked 22nd among all women's cross country programs.
