With their senior seasons over, women’s golfer Sarah Hoffman and baseball catcher Jared Cowan were honored by the GLIAC in for form of the GLIAC Spring 2012 Commissioner’s Award.
The two are the only Grand Valley State University representatives of the award this year, but they join 10 other GLIAC men’s and women’s athletes from the spring athletic season.
Awarded to those who make accomplishments both on the field of play and in the classroom, the GVSU pair carried a 3.91 (Cowan) and 3.83 (Hoffman) GPA this year to go with individual honors as All Americans in their respective sports.
The school saw three other recipients of the award this season. Soccer forward Ashley Botts and cross-country runner Anthony Witt were honored in the fall and swimmer Caitlyn Madsen was honored in the winter.
