CLEVELAND - Sophomore Andrea Kremer (Indianapolis, Ind./Bishop Chatard) continues to embody what it means to be a collegiate athlete, as she received the Mid-American Conference Female Scholar-Athlete of the Week award for the second time this year.

She joins fellow Miami runner Brian Godsey (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota East) as the only MAC athletes to receive the accolade twice this fall. Including the three occasions on which she was named MAC Women's Runner of the Week, Kremer has won five weekly conference honors this fall, the most of any MAC athlete. This also is the MAC-leading seventh time a Miami athlete has been awarded this honor.

Kremer, a mathematics major with a 3.81 GPA, concluded an outstanding cross country season by finishing 25th out of 249 runners in a time of 21:13 on Monday, Nov. 19 at the NCAA Women's Cross Country Championships in Greenville, S.C., to earn all-America honors for the second straight season. She gained the same distinction after finishing 11th in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the NCAA Track and Field Championships last spring.

She is just the seventh female from the MAC to become an All-American in cross country, and only the second woman in school history to accomplish the feat. Kremer's performance at nationals wraps up a stellar season, in which she also was named all-MAC and all-region.
