closeSPOKANE — Track and Field athletes Keith Lemay of Western Washington University, Jarred Rensvold of Montana State University Billings and Amanda (Merrell) Peters of Northwest Nazarene University have been selected the 2007-08 Great Northwest Athletic Conference Male and Female Scholar-Athletes of the Year.
The awards are voted on by the athletic directors at the 10 Great Northwest Athletic Conference schools.
Lemay and Rensvold tied in the balloting for the men’s award, while Peters was the overwhelming choice in the women’s balloting.
Lemay, who is the third Western Washington athlete to win the men’s award joining football players Erik Totten (2001-02) and Rob White (2003-04), earned All-American honors this spring by finishing sixth in the 800 meters in the NCAA Division II national track-and-field championships.
He had the best times this spring in the GNAC in both the 800 meters (1:51.33) and 1,500 meters (3:52.35). Those times rank third and fifth, respectively, in WWU school history and rank third and sixth in GNAC history.
He also won the 800 in the GNAC Indoor championships last February in a time of 1:57.86 after earlier setting a school record (1:54.94). In cross country he placed 20th in the GNAC meet, 32nd in the NCAA West Regional and 158th at nationals. Lemay, who is a physical education (pre-physical therapy) major and has a 3.69 GPA, is a candidate for Academic All-American honors as well. A six-time GNAC academic all-star (three in cross county and three in track and field), he twice has earned CoSIDA Academic District 8 honors. On three different occasions he has been selected as a U.S. Cross Country and Track & Field Coaches Association National Scholar-Athlete for both sports.
