Indiana University East tennis players Kristi Henderson, Cheltsi Hinners and Justin Judd earned Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete recognition, the NAIA announced.

In order to be nominated, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and must have achieved a junior academic status.

A total of 213 tennis players across the nation earned the Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete award. Putting that number in perspective: More tennis players qualified for the NAIA national tournaments (384) than received the Scholar-Athlete award.

Henderson (Cambridge City, Ind./IUPUI) received her degree in nursing earlier this month. She is a two-time Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete.

Hinners (Centerville, Ind./Centerville High School), a junior, is a psychology major.

Judd (West Milton, Ohio/Milton-Union High School), a junior, is a criminal justice major.

Henderson and Judd also made the CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-District College Division at-large teams for District 3, encompassing Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. The at-large division includes athletes from 13 sports.

Academic All-District honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.

To be eligible for Academic All-America consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, and have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing.
