WOODLAND, Calif. - Two members of the Air Force men's gymnastics team were named to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation academic all-conference team, the league office announced today (April 17). Junior Brian Boardman (Naperville, Ill.) claimed his second such honor, while sophomore Jacob Schonig (Los Gatos, Calif.) was tabbed for his first such distinction.

 

Boardman, who was the Falcons' lone representative on the academic all-conference list last season, holds a 3.47 GPA in mathematics. A co-captain of the 2007 squad, Boardman improved his career-best mark on the high bar, while participating in the NCAA national qualifier on the vault.

 

Schonig joins the academic all-conference squad in his first eligible season with a 3.15 GPA in space operations. He recently concluded a stellar sophomore campaign that saw him finish 11th at the NCAA Championships on the still rings with a career-best score. In addition to improving his personal-best score by nearly two points from last year, Schonig earned a third-place finish on the still rings at the USA Gymnastics Collegiate Championships.

 

To be considered for the academic all-conference team, student-athletes must hold a 3.0 or better grade-point-average and be at least a sophomore with one full academic year completed at the institution prior to the season that the award was received. In addition, the student-athlete must have competed in 50-percent or more of the institution's competitions.
