MVC RELEASE
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The Missouri Valley Conference announced its 2016 MVC Track and Field Scholar-Athlete team today, with UNI earning 20 spots.

UNI's 20 scholar-athletes is the most since the 2007-08 season where the Panthers were recognized with 24 honorees.

To earn MVC Scholar-Athlete honors, a student-athlete must finish in the top-eight of the conference championship or in the top-three of a relay event (indoor or outdoor meet) and carry a 3.20 cumulative GPA. First-year transfers are not eligible and student-athletes must be a sophomore in athletic and academic standing.

For the men, Weston Riesselman, who obtained a degree in health promotion, leads the way with his third consecutive season earning Scholar-Athlete honors.
