SALT LAKE CITY - Four Utah student-athletes were named to the Verizon Academic All-America District VIII At-Large First Team today. Gymnast Theresa Kulikowski, along with skiers Petra Svet and Jernej Bukovec and tennis player Kaisorn Chaichana now advance to the national ballot, which will be released June 10. In order to be eligible for Academic All-America honors, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA, must be a starter or an important reserve and be in at least their second season at their current school.
