RIVER FALLS, Wis. – The Shenandoah University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced Thursday 139 student-athletes as the inaugural inductees into its Pi chapter of the Chi Alpha Sigma national collegiate athlete honor society.
 
Chi Alpha Sigma was started in 1996 as a way to recognize the academic achievements of student-athletes around the country and is open to all student-athletes having earned at least a 3.4 GPA and junior academic standing following their fifth semester of study.
 
Twenty-one of the 22 intercollegiate teams at SU are represented in the inaugural class with baseball leading the way with 24 inductees. The baseball team is one of seven teams, along with field hockey, football, men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse, men's soccer, and women's soccer, to have double-digit honorees.
 
The 139 have a 3.71 average GPA and eight – Mackenzie Watkins, Ethan Bigbee, Matthew Klocke, Mark Isabelle, Ryan Coffelt, Brooke Vaillancourt, Emma Stiffler, and Lily Kimble – boast perfect 4.0 cumulative GPAs. Those eight represent 10 different sports (Coffelt is a three-sport athlete competing in cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field. Klocke competes in both track disciplines.)
 
Twenty-six members of the class have earned All-ODAC accolades with field hockey players Kelsey Jones, Mairead McKibbin, Elise Velasquez, and Farren Winter each earning at least one major award (Player, Defensive Player, Rookie of the Year) during their careers.
 
Jones, McKibbin, football player Ben Burgan, and indoor/outdoor track & field athlete Tucker Kindig have been named All-America at least one time.
 
"This is another example of our student-athletes excelling in both the classroom and on the field," Athletics Director Dr. Bridget Lyons said. "We are all very proud to recognize these student-athletes for their leadership in all areas of our community."
 
Formal induction for the inaugural class will take place at the end of the semester.
