Richard Stockton
senior pole vaulter Kim Marino has been named to the 2004 CoSIDA
Academic All-America College Division Women's Track/Cross Country
Team. Marino became Stockton's first CoSIDA Academic All-American
with her selection to the Third Team. The honorees were chosen and
announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Marino accumulated a 3.485 grade point average and graduated from
Stockton on May 14 with a bachelor's degree in Historical Studies.
Marino was a two-time Academic All-District II choice who earned
First Team honors this season and Second Team kudos last year. Her
selection as Stockton's initial Academic All-American is another
first for Marino, who was the College's inaugural female national
champion and first female All-American. Marino won the NCAA Division
III indoor and outdoor national pole vault titles in 2003, setting
meet records both times. She ended her career as a five-time
All-American, four-time NJAC champion in both the indoor and outdoor
pole vault, and two-time Stockton Female Athlete of the Year.
In addition to her outstanding grade point average, Marino was
listed in Who's Who Among American College Students. She also was
recognized in The National Dean's List and was a member of the Phi
Alpha Theta history honor society.
The Academic All-America Teams program annually honors 816 male and
female student-athletes who have succeeded at the highest level on
the playing field and in the classroom. Individuals are selected
through voting by CoSIDA, the College Sports Information Directors
of America. Since the program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has
bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 14,000
student-athletes in Division I, II, III and NAIA covering all NCAA
championship sports. |
