Week of April 27, 2008 to May 03, 2008

Each week, the McNamara Academic Center for Student-Athletes (MAC) will recognize one University of Minnesota student-athlete for his or her academic achievements. The winner of the McNamara Student-Athlete of the Week for the week ending April 25th is Hassan Mead from the men’s cross country team.

Coach Steve Plasencia believes that Hassan knows how important education is for his future. “Hassan Mead has shown maturity and strong effort during his first year here in all areas necessary to be a successful as a student-athlete,” Plasencia said. “He goes above and beyond to make sure he is fulfilling all the requests from his instructors, academic counselors, and coaches.”
