FAIRFAX, Va. –
Sharon Dorsey's list of academic accomplishments continues to grow.
The recent George Mason graduate was named to the Google Cloud Academic All-District
® Women's Track/Cross Country Team, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced on Tuesday.
Dorsey, a sprinter from Baltimore, made the District 3 Team, earning recognition for her academic and athletic prowess. Dorsey now joins a pool of 80 student-athletes from the nation's eight total districts on the Academic All-America ballot. The first-, second- and third-team All-America selections will be announced in early June.
Dorsey graduated last week from George Mason with a bachelor's degree in environmental science. Just last week she received one of the Atlantic 10 Conference's 14 postgraduate championships and received a $5,000 postgraduate scholarship.
She was a three-time Provost Scholar Athlete and a four-year member of the Dean's List. She also has been named to the A-10 All-Academic Team for women's track four times and has been named to the A-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll six times. Last month, she received the athletic department's prestigious Susan A. Collins Leadership Award for Women in Sport.
On the track, she won six A-10 gold medals during her four-year career. She most recently was a member of the gold-medal winning 4x400-meter relay team that set the A-10 Championship record with a time of 3:38.58 earlier this month at George Mason Stadium.
