2016 May 3

Miami University RedHawk Alexus Jimson-Miller was named to the MAC Women's Indoor Track & Field Distinguished Scholar-Athlete Team.

The Distinguished Scholar Athlete is a second-year award given to students who have excelled in athletics and academics. Following each season from the winter sports schedule, any student with a 3.20 GPA and participation in at least 50 percent of the contests was automatically named to the previously announced Academic All-MAC Team from each sport. From the Academic All-MAC Teams, the faculty athletic representatives selected the 'best of the best' of our Academic All-MAC Teams to be honored with Distinguished Scholar Athlete Award for the 2015-16 season.

Jimson-Miller, from Danville, is earning a Bachelor of Science majoring in Health Promotion.

Miami University student-athletes finished the spring 2015 semester with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.313, the highest GPA ever for a single semester. Overall, 70 percent (339 of 482) of the RedHawks finished with a GPA of 3.0 or higher, and 26 of those student-athletes recorded a 4.0 GPA.

Of the 2014 senior class, 100% of Miami's student-athletes were employed within one year of graduation.
