Amanda Kiso Earns Academic All-SLIAC Honors

2014 Nov 25

The St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) announced the Fall 2014 SLIAC Academic All-Conference awardees on November 25, 2014. Westminster College has 22 fall student-athletes named from the men's and women's cross country teams, men's and women's soccer teams, and the volleyball team.

Amanda Kiso, a sophomore volleyball player from Jefferson City, Missouri, is an awardee of this honor. Kiso is majoring in psychology and helped the volleyball team to a 17-14 season record.

In order to be named to the Academic Team, a student-athlete must be a sophomore, junior or senior in academic standing, attend Westminster for one year, maintain a 3.5 or higher cumulative GPA and be a member of the respective varsity team.

Westminster College values the student-athlete experience and the life-long lessons they learn each day --- some learned inside the classroom, while other skills and lessons are learned on the courts where these student-athletes compete. As President Barney Forsythe says, "Leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship, self-discipline, a commitment to excellence and a will to win, all lead to a life of success after graduation." Every day at Westminster is a day to appreciate, reward and recognize our student-athletes for excelling in the classroom, on the court and within their communities.
