Kansas University juniors Kim Clark and Megan Manthe were named to the 2004 Academic All-America Women’s Cross Country/Track and Field Team in the University Division, the College Sports Information Directors of American (CoSIDA) announced Thursday.
Clark, a biochemistry major, was named to the 15-member first team after earning a 4.0 GPA. The Elkhorn, Neb., native was a part of the women’s 4×400-meter relay team that took 20th at the 2004 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Manthe, who was named to the third team, also recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA while majoring in biochemistry. The native of Anoka, Minn., helped guide the women’s cross country team to a fifth-place finish in the NCAA Midwest Regionals this past fall. She placed 17th individually at the meet.
