Miles inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma

COLCHESTER, Vt. — The St. Michael’s College Department of Athletics recently recognized its fourth class of Chi Alpha Sigma inductees April 7 in the midst of celebrating the 29th annual National Student-Athlete Day (NSAD), as Purple Knights carrying a minimum cumulative 3.7 GPA were honored. In all 50 student-athletes were lauded for their academic achievements, with 13 earning entry into Chi Alpha Sigma — the National College Athlete Honor Society,

Among those honored was junior field hockey player Monica Miles of Dover-Foxcroft. The 2013 Foxcroft Academy graduate was one of the 13 Chi Alpha Sigma inductees. Miles, the daughter of Dr. Ronald Miles Jr. and Katie Miles, is majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry.

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.
