STUDENT-Athletes

At Trinity, we place a tremendous value on balance. Priority number one is always Family. Second, we emphasize a focus on academic success. Thirdly we pursue excellence as athletes. Whatever we have opportunities to participate in beyond that list is additional blessing, but our culture identifies that list, and further the balance of those priorities as paramount. This week, three players were selected to the Academic All-District Team.

Seniors Danika Wright and Jordan Azar, both NSCAA Academic All-Americans from 2009, were selected to the second team.

Wright, from Alpine, Utah (Lone Peak), is a business administration major (accounting) with a 3.87 GPA. She has produced four goals (one game-winner), and made one assist, for nine points. Wright is an anchor of the stingy Trinity defense, which has yielded only eight goals in 16 games.

Azar, from Albuquerque, N.M. (St. Pius X), is a business administration (finance) major with a 3.60 GPA. She has made six goals (one game-winner) and accounted for eight assists, for 20 points.

Junior Kelly Watts was selected to the first team, which puts her on the short-list of candidates for the Academic All-American team as is selected by CoSIDA and presented by ESPN on November 18.

Watts, from Lakewood, Wash. (Bellarmine College Preparatory). She is a double major in classical studies major (ancient Mediterranean) and Finance with a 3.84 grade point average. Watts is second on the Tiger team in goals, with 11 (three game-winners), and has shelled out eight assists, for 30 points.

These players represent a team of STUDENT-Athletes that pride themselves on everything they do, with their academics being a tremendous part of laying groundwork for their future.
