EAST STROUDSBURG - East Stroudsburg University recognized six student-athletes who have earned prestigious academic honors as part of the Warriors' home basketball doubleheader against Kutztown on Wednesday night.

ESU has six current student-athletes who have been named to their respective Academic All-America or Academic All-District teams - part of 74 total Academic All-District selections in the last seven years, tied for the second-most in the 18-member Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.

Senior Christina O'Connor (track and field) and redshirt senior Bryan Thomson and redshirt junior Jon Schnaars (football) lead the way as Academic All-America selections.

ESU is also second in the PSAC with 21 "Top 10" awards, which are presented seasonally by the conference to a select number of student-athletes for their combined academic and athletic achievement.

The Warriors' student-athletes will be featured as part of a poster series which will be displayed in a number of academic buildings on campus. The recognition, in its third year, is part of an overall campus endeavor to promote both the academic and athletic achievements of the Warriors' student-athletes.
