Selected by members of College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), student-athletes are honored for their prowess on the field and in the classroom. Holt is now eligible for selection to the Academic All-America Team, to be announced June 23.
A physics major with a 4.00 grade point average, Holt was presented the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Men's Cross Country Elite 19 Award last November at the SCAC Cross Country Championships at Widefield, Colorado. The Portland, Oregon, resident earned the award for academic and athletic achievements.
