UA nominates 2 for prestigious post-grad scholarship

The University of Arkansas announced Wednesday it has nominated women’s track and field performer Tamara Kuykendall and men’s golfer Mason Overstreet for the SEC’s prestigious H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete post-graduate scholarship.

The scholarship has been presented by the SEC since 1986 to the top male and female scholar-athletes from a list of nominees from each member school. The recipients are chosen by a committee of faculty athletics representatives from all 14 SEC schools.

The SEC will name the 2020 recipients on May 26. The conference provides the winners a $20,000 post-graduate scholarship and the remaining 26 nominees receive a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship.
