TOWSON, Md. - Sewanee Senior Jordan Casey has been named first team Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
"The remarkable thing about Jordan Casey is that her academic
achievements represent a true love of learning," remarked Sewanee
coach Conchie Shackelford. "She immerses herself in a variety of
subjects because she is truly stimulated by them."
Casey recently earned her degree in Spanish and Biology and
graduated with a 4.03 grade point average. She is a member of Phi
Beta Kappa and was a Rhodes Scholarship finalist in 2008. The
four-time ITA National Scholar-Athlete has earned spots on the
Dean's List, the SCAC Academic Honor Roll and won the Robert
Woodham Daniel Prize in Expository Writing.
On the tennis court, Casey has a 60-18 career singles record, a
39-24 career doubles record, finished in 2006 with a final doubles
ranking of #15 and was a member of the 2007 SCAC All-Tournament
team. She played on NCAA Tournament teams in 2006, 2007 and 2008
and was a member of the third-ranked team of 2007, which was also
the SCAC champion squad that year.
Not only was Casey the only SCAC student-athlete selected to
the team, but she was one of just seven tennis players to earn the
honor and the only one selected to the First Team.
