CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Ivy League has announced the names of 80 student-athletes – including 10 from Harvard—who have been named to the winter 2008-09 Academic All-Ivy League team.

 

The honorees are starters or key reserves on officially recognized varsity teams who have cumulative grade-point averages of at least 3.0.  Each of the eight Ivy League schools nominates five men and five women from its eligible student-athletes.

Men’s swimmer Bill Jones rounds out the selections. Jones earned All-Ivy League first team honors in the 200 medley relay and was named All-Ivy League second team in the 100 butterfly, 800 freestyle relay and 400 medley relay. He was part of the 200 medley relay that broke the meet record at Ivy League Championships, posting a collective time of 1:27.61. He surpassed the previous Ivy League record in 100 butterfly, swimming in 46.12 and qualified for the NCAA Championships.

 

The Ivy League will publish one more edition of the Academic All-Ivy League team during the 2008-09 academic year, one following end of spring competition.
