East Stroudsburg's Lauren Reightneour Earns PSAC Women's Outdoor Track & Field Champion Scholar Award
LOCK HAVEN, Pa. --- East Stroudsburg junior Lauren Reightneour was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Champion Scholar, the league announced Wednesday afternoon.
Reightneour is the third Warrior to earn the award in the sport.
Despite the cancellation of the 2020 PSAC Spring Championships due to COVID-19, the league will honor Champion Scholars for all spring sports including: baseball, softball, outdoor track and field, women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s tennis.
The PSAC Champion Scholar Awards are modeled after the NCAA's Elite 90 award. The selection criteria for the Champion Scholar Awards is identical to that of the NCAA Elite 90 awards, which honor the student-athlete with the top GPA at each of the championship finals sites of the 90 NCAA championships across all three divisions – I, II, and III.
Each year, the Champion Scholar is awarded to the student-athlete with the highest GPA at all of the league’s 23 championship finals sites. Because the 2020 PSAC Spring Championships were cancelled, the PSAC opened the award to all student-athletes who met the criteria of: having completed a minimum 48 credit hours and those who are in at least their second year of competition.
The Birdsboro, Pa., product and Daniel Boone Area graduate has amassed 98 credits towards her health and physical education degree while boasting a perfect 4.0 grade point average.
