May 10, 2007
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - North Carolina's Georgia Kloss is the recipient of an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship for winter sports, the organization announced recently. A senior from Atlanta and a member of the UNC track and field team, Kloss is one of 58 student-athletes selected for the scholarship, which is worth $7,500. The winter sports awards are open to student-athletes who participate in basketball, fencing, gymnastics, ice hockey, rifle, swimming and diving, indoor track and field or wrestling. The NCAA also awards postgraduate scholarships for fall and spring sports for a total of 174 each year. Kloss, who will graduate from UNC this weekend, majored in art history with a 3.8 grade point average. A two-time All-America honoree and three-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection, she was a member of the Distance Medley Relay team that set an American record and won a second consecutive NCAA title at the the 2007 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in March. She served as team captain in her junior and senior years. Kloss has earned Dean's List and ACC Academic Honor Roll recognition in each year of her college career and was selected for the Athletic Director's Scholar Athlete Award as a senior. She participated in the Carolina Leadership Academy, earning the organization's highest leadership honor, the Three-Dimensional Leader (3-DL) Award. To qualify for an NCAA postgraduate scholarship, a student-athlete must have an overall grade point average of 3.2 or better, must have performed with distinction as a member of a varsity team and must intend to continue academic work behind the baccalaureate degree. Recipients come from all three NCAA divisions. Other student-athletes from Atlantic Coast Conference schools honored for winter sports in 2007 are Duke's Shannon Rowbury and Debra Vento (both indoor track and field), Florida State's Alexander Kennon (swimming) and Boston College's Christopher Wilson-Byrne (swimming).
