LAWRENCE — The University of Kansas honored 362 student athletes named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll for 2006 during halftime of the KU-Colorado men’s basketball game Jan. 27 at Allen Fieldhouse.

Student athletes who achieved a semester grade-point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale during the spring or fall 2006 semester are eligible for the honor. Among those with special recognition at the game were 77 students who earned 4.0 GPAs in one or both semesters.

The Athletic Director’s Honor Roll recognizes students in intercollegiate baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, cross country, football, golf, rowing, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field and volleyball. Spirit Squad members are included this year for the first time. KU is a member of the Big 12 Conference.
