NORTH MANCHESTER, IN – A group of 16 Manchester University student-athletes earned spring all-Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tom Bohlsen academic honors with the full team’s release Monday.

Malorie Jennings, a junior on the Spartan softball team and Thomas Dean a senior in track and field were among those from Manchester University named to the academic honors team.

Honorees are varsity athletes and have to have at least a cumulative 3.5 grade-point average with the GPA recorded at the end of the semester prior to the completion of the spring competition season. Student-athletes must have completed the equivalent of a full academic year, full time enrolled, at their institution to be eligible. The award’s name honors Tom Bohlsen who served as the HCAC’s first commissioner from 1998 to 2008.
