LAWRENCE — The University of Kansas will honor 231 student athletes named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll for 2007 during halftime of the KU-Iowa State men’s basketball game tonight at Allen Fieldhouse.

Student athletes enrolled in at least 12 credit hours who achieved a semester grade-point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale during spring or fall 2007 are eligible for the honor. Among those with special recognition are 73 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; football; golf; rowing; soccer; softball; swimming and diving; tennis; track and field; and volleyball. KU is a member of the Big 12 Conference.

“The student athletes who represent our program and the University of Kansas are an outstanding group of young people," said Athletics Director Lew Perkins. “They give every ounce of energy to compete in their sports and then they go home, completely tired, and study. We have every reason to be extremely proud of all their efforts — especially their work in the classroom this past fall. Congratulations to all the student athletes, our terrific KU faculty and to our outstanding athletics academic support staff.”

Honorees represent 28 Kansas counties and 39 other states and countries. They are listed below by home county, state or country; sport; major; level in school or degree completed; parents’ names; and previous schools attended.
