Charlotte Senior Jane Daniels Awarded NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship
June 27, 2007
Indianapolis, Ind. - Charlotte cross country and track and field senior Jane Daniels has been awarded one of 29 postgraduate scholarships of $7,500 by the NCAA, officials announced Tuesday.
It is the second postgraduate scholarship Daniels has been awarded in the last two weeks. She was one of four awarded such an award by the Atlantic 10 conference last week.
Daniels won the 3000-meter steeplechase and finished second in 5000-meter run at the 2007 Atlantic 10 Outdoor Track & Field Championship, helping the 49ers to their second-straight A-10 title. The senior from Oostburg, Wis., also left her mark in the 49ers' record book with a share of the distance medley relay school record (11:43.96) and the 2000-meter steeplechase school record (7:25.06). For her efforts, she was named the A-10's Student-Athlete of the Year in both women's cross country and track & field. At the Atlantic 10 Cross Country Championship she placed eighth to earn All-Conference laurels this past season. She was just named a Cross Country/Track and Field First-Team CoSIDA Academic All-American.
Daniels was one of seven student-athletes awarded the Coca-Cola NCAA Division I Community All-America Award for Community Service this summer. The president of the 49ers' Student-Athlete Advisory Committee has overseen two shoe drives per year, organized and marketed two blood drives per year, participated in tutoring with the Police Athletic League (PAL), organized annual Toys for Tots Drives and, on an annual basis, volunteered at Special Olympics track meets. She will pursue a Master of Science degree in health promotion at Indiana University.
