May 31, 2012 | Men's Cross Country
IRVINE, Calif. --- Seniors Brennen Halliday, Ryan McMonigle and Trevor Smith were among the honorees at UCI's annual Salute to Scholar-Athletes banquet Wednesday night at the Bren Events Center.
They were recognized as three of UCI's 113 Scholar-Athletes for 2011-12. This year's list brings UCI's total to 3,616 since 1983.
Requirements for this award include maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average (GPA) over the previous three quarters or a 3.2 GPA over two quarters for freshmen and transfers. Student-athletes must also earn letters in their sports.
The Scholar-Athlete award was implemented by the Big West Conference to honor those student-athletes that have maintained a high level of scholastic excellence while participating in intercollegiate athletics. UCI expanded the award to include teams that do not participate in Big West-sponsored sports.
