Indoor Track Athletes Named to Academic All-MAC TeamBUFFALO, NY – Four University at Buffalo indoor track and field athletes have been named to the Academic All-Mid-American Conference men's and women's teams, the league announced today in Cleveland. Named to the women's team were seniors Jen Jezorski (Elmira, NY/Elmira Southside) and Kate Kohout (Clarence, NY/Clarence), while senior Bryan Weinstein (Getzville, NY/Williamsville North) and sophomore Babaseyi Olaleye (Lagos, Nigeria/Lagos) earned recognition to the men's squad.
Olaleye, a mechanical engineering major with a 3.502 GPA, set season-best marks of 24.08 for the 200-meters and 51.81 for the 400-meters this season. He finished 17th at the MAC Championships in the 400-meter race last month. He was also part of UB's 4x400-meter relay team that finished eighth at Penn State's Sykes-Sabock Challenge in February. There were 25 women’s honorees and 21 men’s honorees on the 2006 list. The number is either set for a specific sport or 33 percent of the number of nominees, whichever is greater. The Academic All-MAC honor is for a student-athlete who has excelled in athletics and academics. To qualify, student-athletes must have at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA and have participated in at least 50 percent of the contests for that particular sport. First-year students and junior college transfers in their first year of residence are not eligible for the award. |
