CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Boston University senior Edwina Clark and junior Sarah Mosser have been named to the America East Women's Indoor Track & Field All-Academic Team, the conference office announced on Wednesday. Mosser and Clark, both captains of the team, each earned all-conference honors at the America East Championship last month.
Clark captured the America East title in the long jump this season and qualified for the ECAC Championships in the event, posting her best mark of 5.91m at the Terrier Invitational on Jan. 23. The Sydney, Australia, native is majoring in nutritional science at the Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and boasts a 3.84 grade-point average.
Mosser finished second in the 1,000-meter run at the America East Championship and won the mile run at both the Harvard Open and BU's quad meet in January, qualifying for the ECAC Championship in both events. A native of East Aurora, N.Y., Mosser is majoring in communications with a 3.35 GPA.
The America East has named All-Academic squads since 2005 to honor the league's top student-athletes, whom excel equally in the classroom as they do on the playing field. The selections are voted upon by a committee of sports information directors, academic advisors and faculty representatives from all nine member institutions. To be nominated for the distinction, student-athletes must have a 3.30 GPA and have completed at least one calendar year at their institution as well as being an important contributor to their team.
Joining Clark and Mosser on the team are Laura Cummings, Zuliana Fontanez and Melissa Lee of Albany, Ariana Bass and Elizabeth Foster of Hartford, Rita Ciambra of New Hampshire, Lucy Van Dalen and Laura Huet of Stony Brook and Hannah Sylvester of Vermont.
