Track Academic All-Conference Team

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - La Salle's Ryan Moseley and Jane Daniels and Sharonda Johnson of Charlotte have been named the Atlantic 10 Student-Athletes of the Year in men's and women's track & field, respectively, in voting conducted among the Conference's sports information directors.

Daniels won the 3000-meter steeplechase and finished second in 5000-meter run at the 2007 Atlantic 10 Outdoor Track & Field Championship, teaming with Johnson to lead the 49ers to their second-straight A-10 title. The senior from Oostburg, Wisc., 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).

Owner of a 4.00 grade point average as a biology major, Daniels, who was also named the A-10's Cross Country Student-Athlete of the Year in 2006, is 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.

Johnson won the high jump (5' 7") and finished third in the long jump (18' 9") at the 2007 A-10 Indoor Track & Field Championship. In the A-10 outdoor meet, the senior from Raleigh, N.C., broke an eight-year old Conference record to claim her third conference triple jump title, at 42' 5.5". A two-time All-America in the triple jump, she holds both the indoor and outdoor records at Charlotte. She is a four-time NCAA national qualifier in the event and also holds the school-record in the high jump.
 

 

A chemistry major with a 3.89 grade point average, Johnson was the recipient of the 2005 Arthur Ashe Female Sports Scholar of the Year award.

Daniels and Johnson are joined on the Atlantic 10 Women's Track & Field Academic All-Conference team by teammates Lamarra Currie and Lajarsha Moses; Emily Anderson, Katherine Guilfoyle, and Courtney Klenk of Rhode Island; Duquesne's Emily Beahan, Jenna Daggett, Samantha Howard, and Melissa Stewart; Christina DeRosa of Massachusetts; Dayton's Liz Forster; Erin Kelly of Saint Joseph's; and La Salle's Carolyn Lipovsky and Rachel Papin. Anderson, Johnson, Papin, and Stewart repeat as members of the Academic All-Conference team.

Moseley finished second in the long jump (23' 6.25") at the 2007 Atlantic 10 Outdoor Track & Field Championship. He was also a member of the 4x100 relay team that took third place at the meet - the same squad that placed fourth at this year's IC4A event at the Penn Relays. During the indoor season, the graduate student from Nassau, Bahamas, won the long jump (24' 0.25") at the A-10s and placed second in the 55-meters at the IC4As.

Moseley, who was named the 2006 La Salle University Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, holds a 3.75 grade point average as a computer science major.

Joining Moseley on the A-10 Men's Track & Field Academic All-Conference team are Anthony Bacon and Adu Dentamo of Charlotte; Rhode Island's Thomas Barek and Stephan Mateka; Nathan Barksdale and Ryan Durkin of UMass; Duquesne's Justin Gunter, Mike Murawski, and Eric Robertson; Matthew Lowenthal of Fordham; Matt McClure and Teddy Meyers of Saint Joseph's; Xavier's Ben Milroy; Mat Stuber of Saint Louis; and Richmond's Hunter Willis. Moseley and Meyers are the lone holdovers from last year's Academic All-Conference team.
