ATHLETICS

摘要

The balance between the classroom and competition is one that Mines student-athletes master every year. It's not easy fitting in lectures, labs, homework and projects with training, practices, travel and competition. But despite these pressures, Orediggers have continued to excel at both sides of the equation. In 2018-19 alone, Mines Athletics had five RMAC Academic Athletes of the Year and an all-time record of 16 Academic All-Americans, while distance runner Megan Wenham '19 became the first Oredigger to earn the RMAC's highest honor, the Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. More than half of the more than 400 Mines student-athletes held a 3.0 or above cumulative GPA after the spring 2019 semester, including 142 with a 3.5 or better.
