Penn State Marks School Record in Academic All-Big Ten Honorees
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State University listed a school record 245 student-athletes in the Academic All-Big Ten for the 2003-04 academic year. The 245 recipients broke the previous mark of 230, set last year. There were 127 Penn State honorees for the eight spring and five at-large sports. The university narrowly finished second among all conference institutions for 2003-04, as Ohio State had 249 honorees to edge the Nittany and Lady Lions by four. Penn State has led all institutions in Academic All-Big Ten honorees six times in the past eight years and has the highest total of any school over the past 10 years with 2,057 selections, followed by Ohio State with 1,870. The Big Ten honored 1,892 student-athletes in 2003-04, the highest total over the last decade, eclipsing the previous mark of 1,857, set last year. Student-athletes must be in their second academic year, earn a letter and have at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. Visit Penn State Athletes at www.GoPSUsports.com/home/index.cfm"
