The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) and Verizon have announced the 2002-03 Verizon Men's and Women's Academic All-America At-Large Teams.

This is the second year that the at-large teams have included sports in all seasons. In past years, at-large teams were divided by season, but now since there are separate teams for soccer and track and field/cross country, the at-large teams include other sports in all seasons.

The men's at-large team includes student-athletes from fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming and diving, tennis, volleyball, water polo and wrestling.

The women's at-large team includes student-athletes from gymnastics, rowing, skiing, fencing, ice hockey, swimming and diving, water polo, field hockey, lacrosse, tennis, golf and rifle.

Better than one in four student-athletes selected to the women's team have maintained perfect grade-point averages for their collegiate careers. Additionally, first-team members in the women's college division averaged a 3.950 GPA, while the women's university division's first team averaged a 3.918.

The Team Members of the Year for the at-large teams are:

* Kenyon College swimmer Ashley Rowatt (women's college division), winner of three individual national titles and 13 all-American
awards. Rowatt recently was named Kenyon's senior athlete of the year. She has helped Kenyon win three national championships and four North Coast Athletic Conference championships during her tenure.

The Verizon Academic All-America program recognizes student-athletes who have succeeded on the field and in the classroom. Individuals are selected by votes from the 1,800-member CoSIDA. Team members are varsity starters or key reserves who maintain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.200 (4.000 scale). Since the program's inception in 1952, more than 12,000 student-athletes have been honored with the award.
