Continuing a 'Partnership in Excellence'
FOREST, Va. --- The ODAC and Farm Bureau
Insurance have built a strong relationship over the past few years,
emphasizing the importance of the complete student-athlete
experience at the NCAA Division III level. That "Partnership
in Excellence" continued this winter as the ODAC and Farm Bureau
Insurance salute the five winners of the 2011 ODAC/Farm Bureau
Insurance Scholar-Athlete Awards from the winter athletic
campaigns.
The ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar Athlete Award is given to a
student-athlete in each of the conference's 22 sponsored
sports. Farm Bureau Insurance of Virginia is the presenter of
each of the ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete Awards,
forming a partnership with the ODAC to emphasize the NCAA Division
III philosophy of the complete student-athlete experience. To
be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be at least a
sophomore standing and have spent at least one full academic year
at the nominating institution, must maintain at least a 3.2
cumulative grade point average, and must have participated in at
least 50-percent of the team's events as a starter or key
contributor. The awards are selected in a vote of the
conference's sports information directors.
