BUIES
CREEK,
N.C.-Campbell junior Diana Norden has been named to the 2008-09 ESPN the Magazine CoSIDA
Academic All-District III Women's Track & Field/Cross Country
First Team, as announced by the College Sports Information
Directors of America (CoSIDA).
A
four-time
Atlantic Sun All-Academic team member, Norden collected a pair of
top-25 finishes in the 2008 cross country season with 5K and 6K
personal bests. The 4.0 student-athlete, one of just four among
District III winners, also set track personal indoor bests in the
mile, 3000 and 5000 meters, while notching new outdoor personal
records in the 1500, 3000, 5000 and 10000 meter events.
Norden, a native of Nykoping,
Sweden, posted seven top-25 and three top-10 finishes through the
indoor and outdoor seasons, collecting a indoor season-best finish
of seventh twice, once at the Liberty Open and once at the Carolina
Classic. Norden's top outdoor finish came in the 5000 meters at the
Appalachian Invitational, placing ninth.
As a first-team
member, Norden will be on the ballot for Academic All-America®
recognition. Campbell student-athletes have earned Academic
All-America® honors from CoSIDA 14 times since 1988, most
recently in 2006 when Devin Sheppard was selected to the men's
soccer list. CU athletes have gained Academic All-District III
recognition in each of the last 15 years, and 41 times in school
history.
Norden is one
of seven Atlantic Sun track & field/cross country athletes to
earn all-district honors this season, including Natasha Harvey
(Jacksonville-D-III Second Team), Carolyn Latham (Lipscomb, D-IV,
First Team) and Mollie Schlarman (Belmont, D-IV, First Team) on the
women's side. Ryan Chastain (Lipscomb, D-IV, Second Team), Will
Peters (Belmont, D-IV, Second Team), Caleb Swartz (Belmont, D-IV,
Second Team) rounded out the men's honorees.
CoSIDA's 1,800
members in the United States and Canada nominate players for ESPN
The Magazine / Academic All-America® recognition. To be
eligible, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.30 cumulative
grade-point average and be a starter or key reserve on his or her
team. CoSIDA members vote on the all-district teams, then a
national panel selects the Academic All-America squads. District 3
includes all NCAA Division I schools in Florida, Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The national ESPN The Magazine / Academic
All-America® team will be announced later this
month.
