Western Nebraska Community College softball player Katie Groves capped off her freshman season with another honor. This time, though, is not from the field, but in the classroom.
Groves earned Academic all-American honors from the National Junior College Athletic Association, earning a 3.67 grade point average last year.
To be considered an academic all-American, a student/athlete must have at least a 3.6 GPA. Students who have a 4.0 GPA earn Distinguished Academic all-American honors.
Groves also was selected as a third team NJCAA all-American honors as an infielder in June. Groves tied WNCC’s career home run record this season with 17 and broke the season home run record. She also led the team in RBIs (79), runs scored (77) and batting average (.525) this season. The Cougar softball team finished last season 42-18 and as Region IX conference co-champions.
