Amy Freet has earned CoSIDA/Capital One College Division Academic All-District VIII honors as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) and announced on Thursday. The honor recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and academically.
Freet, a sophomore from Dallas, Texas (Flower Mound HS), recorded a 3.80 GPA while pursuing a degree in Business Administration through two years at BIola.

Freet has also recorded 44 assists, nine steals and seven blocks this season.
The college division first-team is comprised of the NAIA, Canadian and junior colleges in Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii, Alaska and the 13 provinces and territories in Canada. To be nominated for all-district consideration, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) for her career. No athlete is eligible until he/she has reached sophomore athletic and academic standing and has spent at least one year at the school.
As a member of the district's first-team, Freet is now eligible to earn CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-America honors. A school record 10 student-athletes earned Academic All-America recognition last year and 15 have been honored overall. The 2012 Women's Basketball Academic All-American college division teams are scheduled to be announced on Monday, February 18.
