IRVING, Texas (SMU) - SMU diver Audra Egenolf is one of 18 recipients of the 2010-11 Scholar Athlete of the Year Award Commissioner Britton Banowsky announced today. The C-USA Scholar Athlete of the Year awards are presented to the top student-athlete in each conference-sponsored sport. The award is based on academic achievement (GPA), athletic achievement and service.

Egenolf graduated in May with a degree in accounting while holding a 3.984 GPA. She received both the C-USA Postgraduate Scholarship as well as the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. With her scholarships, the Indianapolis native will pursue a Master's of Science in Accounting from the University of Indiana. Egenolf was named to the Capital One Academic All-District Women's At-Large District VI First Team in May. In April, Egenolf was one of three SMU students to receive the Presidential Award of Excellence. She was also selected as the Cox School of Business's Outstanding Accounting Major for 2011 and was honored with the Meyer Brothers' Award in 2010.
