COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Kristen Kirby of Colorado Mesa has been named the 2019 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Tennis Summit Award winner for the second consecutive year.
The award is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average (GPA), participating at the final sites for each of the RMAC’s championships.
All GPAs are based on a straight grading scale to ensure consistency among institutions. Any tie is broken by the number of credits completed.
To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must be a sophomore or above, who participated in their sport for at least two years with their school. They must be an active member of the team, traveling and competing at the championship. Graduate students are not eligible.
Kirby, a junior from Thornton, Colorado carries a perfect 4.000 GPA majoring in Exercise Science. Last season she was named to the 2017-18 Google Cloud Academic All-America-Third Team becoming the first Maverick to earn the distinction. Kirby is a six-time First Team All-RMAC honoree (3x in Singles & 3x in Doubles).
Kirby will be recognized at tomorrow’s RMAC Tournament semifinal match up against Dixie State at 1:00 p.m.
