STARKVILLE, Miss.--The National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced Wednesday the 2007-08 scholar-athletes honorees which included senior Katie Bush, and sophomores Jennifer Klinkert, Angela Spittler and Baillie Lott.

These four scholar-athletes were recognized with certificates on their outstanding performance in the classroom. They are required to have a 3.5 GPA to qualify for the individual honor.

For her excellence in the classroom last season, Bush was named to the 2008 Conference USA All-Academic Team and the 2008 ESPN THE MAGAZINE District 6 Second Team. Her degree is in kinesiology.

For her on-the-field performance, she was named to the All-Conference USA Second Team.

Klinkert claimed the C-USA Freshman of the Year honor last season with her .333 batting average and 13 home runs. She was also an All-Conference USA Freshman Team and All-Tournament Team member.

Lott finished the 2008 season with a 2.50 ERA, 49 strikeouts in 70 innings, and a record of 7-3.

Spittler hit a double last season in her collegiate debut as a designated hitter. She also made six starts at shortstop during the UTEP series, and C-USA Championships.
