PHILADELPHIA - For her successes both on and off the strip, Temple fencing sophomore Quinn Duwelius has been named to the Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area At-Large Team. Duwelius is one of 11 student-athletes selected to the team, which is voted on by the sports information offices of 30 area institutions from the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
Joining Duwelius from Temple is sophomore gymnast Breahna Wiczkowski, a social work major from Lititz, Pa.
Majoring in psychology, Duwelius has an outstanding 3.97 grade-point average and will be named to Temple's President's Honor Roll for 2016-17. She was a finalist at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic/South Regional this season, placing 12th overall in epee.
Duwelius, a native of Gales Ferry, Conn., went 45-18 in dual meets, tying for the most wins on the epee sqauad. In early February, she finished 17-2 at the two-day Northwestern Duals, helping Temple upset two Top-10 teams. To start the season, Duwelius placed eighth in epee at the 37th annual Temple Open.
West Chester University senior gymnast Majesta Valentine was named the 2016-17 Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Women's At-Large Performer of the Year. A three-time NCAA Atlantic Regional qualifier in the all-around, Valentine won the 2017 USA Gymnastics National Championship in the all-around and earned All-America status in the all-around, vault, uneven bars and balance beam.
An exercise science major at West Chester, Valentine earned top-two finishes in the floor exercise, all-around and uneven bars at the 2017 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division II Championship.
