Miles honored as a top St. Michael’s student-athlete

    COLCHESTER, Vt. — The St. Michael’s College Department of Athletics recognized its student-athletes on April 4 in the midst of celebrating the 27th annual National Student-Athlete Day (NSAD), as Purple Knights carrying a minimum cumulative 3.7 GPA were honored during a ceremony in the Alliot Student Center’s Green Mountain Dining Hall. In all, 51 student-athletes were lauded for their academic achievements.

    Among the 18 honorees is freshman back Monica Miles, of Dover-Foxcroft and a 2013 graduate of Foxcroft Academy. A biology major, Miles is the daughter of Dr. Ronald C. Miles Jr. and Katie B. Miles.
    NSAD, which occurs annually on April 6, honors college and high school student-athletes nationwide for achieving excellence in the classroom and on the field, while making significant contributions to their schools and communities. It has become one of the country’s strongest endeavors promoting the positive virtues of sport and student-athletes as a whole, and the positive effect they both have on society. NSAD was created by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports and Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society.
