Jacqueline Guevel of Carnegie Mellon Earns Second Academic All-District Honor

From Carnegie Mellon Unversity Athletics

For the second straight season, Carnegie Mellon University senior Jacqueline Guevel (Dallas, Texas/The Hockaday School), a member of the women's track and field team, has been named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District Team for women's cross country and track and field.  CoSIDA recognizes outstanding academic and athletic accomplishments by honoring deserving athletes with All-Academic recognition with the official sponsor of Capital One. 

Carnegie Mellon is part of District 4 which is comprised of all Division III schools in the state of Pennsylvania.

Guevel graduated last week with a civil engineering degree with a 3.64 GPA including a 4.0 during this past spring semester.   Earlier this season at the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championships, Guevel placed second in the 100- and 400-meter hurdles earning All-UAA honors. 

For her career, Guevel is part of nine school records, six individual, and two UAA records for indoor and outdoor track and field.  The junior is a four-time All-American (indoor and outdoor) and 15-time All-UAA honoree in track & field.  In 2011, she was named UAA Rookie of the Year and Most Outstanding Performer in running events for both the indoor and outdoor seasons, becoming the first-ever athlete to win both honors in the same year for both seasons. That same year she was named the Mideast Region Track Athlete of the Year.

Off the track, Guevel participated in Habitat for Humanity and was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma where she served as president.
