IRVINE, Calif. – Women's golf won the Faculty Athletic Representative Award and five student-athletes were honored at the annual Salute To Scholar-Athletes banquet Wednesday night at the Bren Events Center.
Sarah Baek, Michelle Park, Lalita Patipaksiri, Michelle Yang and Taryn Yee all garnered scholar-athlete distinction. A total of 113 student-athletes were honored bringing 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 transfer students. 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.
The team was also awarded the Faculty Athletic Representative Award for the highest team grade point average.
