Cleveland, Worthington Second-Team Academic All-District

<a href= Four College of Wooster student-athletes were voted to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team for at-large sports, with Ryan Story earning first-team status within the men's division and Jess Cleveland, Rebecca Haug, and Becca Worthington all gaining second-team honors among the women's group, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced Thursday.

Cleveland was one of the offensive leaders for the NCAC-champion women's lacrosse team as a senior attacker. She established career highs with 20 goals, nine assists, and 29 points on the year. Cleveland, who majored in biology with minors in both classical studies and physical education, was an Eta Sigma Phi member (national classics honor society) and winner of the school's Alice Hutchins Lytle biology award (annual prize to female with highest grades in biology) and Miles Q. White biology award.

Worthington, similar to Cleveland, had a career-best season as a senior attacker and helped lead <a href= Becca Worthington" width="120" height="170"> the women's lacrosse squad to a conference championship. She totaled 55 points coming on 45 goals and 10 assists in her second year as a starter, and was rewarded with first-team all-NCAC status for those efforts. A psychology major with a biology minor, Worthington was inducted into Psi Chi (international honor society for psychology), worked as a student assistant in athletic training, and served an officer's role for the Women's Athletic & Recreation Association on campus.

The honorees were selected by CoSIDA among top student-athletes in the sports of crew, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming, tennis, and water polo, with minimum 3.30 grade-point averages from the college division (NCAA Div. II and III, and NAIA) in Wooster's five-state district (Alabama, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee).
