Seven of the Owls' nine honorees were either freshmen or sophomores who will return to the team next year. The highest GPA of the year belonged to senior Briana Odom, a psychology major, at 3.82. Odom was a co-captain who competed in all 13 meets this past season, earning career-highs on both vault and floor.
