Carlson and Castro Acknowledged as NAIA Scholar-Athletes

Kansas City, Mo. – Rachel Carlson and Camila Castro Medina have been recognized as NAIA Women's Tennis Scholar-Athletes.

The Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete programs recognize excellence in the classroom by NAIA-member student-athletes who are sophomores or above in academic standing with a 3.5 cumulative GPA. Students must appear on the eligibility certificate for the sport and have attended one full year as a non-transfer or one full year as a transfer. The awards are given annually to outstanding student-athletes in the various sports in which the program is active and their respective teams are eligible for NAIA postseason competition.

Loyola (La.) led the way with 10 honorees while Morningside (Iowa) followed just behind with seven.

The 2024 list features 300 student-athletes that achieved at least a 3.5 cumulative grade point average (GPA) at their institution. In order to be nominated by an institution's head coach or sports information director, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, must appear on the eligibility certificate for the sport and have attended one full year at said institution.
