Men's soccer player Tyler Speer, women's basketball players Hunter Beirne and Natalie Hoff, cross country/track runner Libby Michael, and volleyball player Lindsay Rosenthal all have earned a Faculty Athletic Representative Scholar-Athlete Award for the fourth consecutive year, as announced on July 13, 2023, by the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
They were part of an overall collection of 31 Falcons to make the list — and this one is a very elite list. Getting onto it takes a cumulative grade-point average of 3.85 or higher.
"While thrilled with their accomplishments in competition, we are even more proud of the academic achievements of our SPU student-athletes," interim athletic director Dan Lepse said. "The fact that so many Falcons sustained grade point averages above the lofty 3.85 level is remarkable. Receiving this FAR recognition is a tribute to their diligent work and time management along with the strong support from their coaches and staff."
