Four 'Wolves earn MPSF academic honors

WOODLAND, Calif. – Four Alaska Anchorage gymnasts were honored for their classroom success Friday as the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation announced its 2011 Women's Gymnastics All-Academic Team.

Senior Kristy Boswell, a marketing/management major from Cherry Hill, N.J., led the way for UAA with a 3.56 overall grade-point average. Boswell and fellow senior Maria Puricelli (Chesterfield, Mo.) both received the third all-academic honor or their careers, with Puricelli earning a 3.50 GPA in psychology. Junior captain Kelsey Fullerton (Flower Mound, Texas) earned her second career honor with a 3.53 in marketing/management, while junior Kathleen Mantell was a first-time honoree with a 3.23 in psychology.

Seattle Pacific produced a league-high eight all-academic picks, followed by UC Davis (7), UAA (4) and Air Force (4).
