ST. LOUIS – Alli Workman and Jocelyn Quiles have been named to the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Teams, the Valley announced Tuesday afternoon.
 
Scholar-Athlete honors require athletes to meet performance standards, as they must finish among the first 20 runners at the conference championship and hold at least a cumulative 3.2 GPA and be a sophomore in athletic and academic standing to earn a spot on the MVC Scholar-Athlete team.
 
Workman earned Honorable Mention All-MVC honors for the second time in her career at the MVC Championships. The senior raced to a 13th-place finish while clocking a time of 18:47.19 in the process. In the classroom, Workman holds a 3.92 cumulative GPA in health sciences.
 
Redshirt-sophomore Quiles was also named to the Scholar-Athlete team after placing 17th in the 5K championship race on Saturday behind a time of 18:55.58. Quiles holds a 3.82 cumulative GPA in communications.
 
In all, 27 athletes were named to the Valley's Scholar-Athlete team, including 15 women and 12 men. Loyola had the most honorees on the women's side with five, while the Bradley men had the most on the men's side with four. Overall, Bradley placed the most athletes on both teams with a total of eight being honored. Between the two races, all Valley schools were represented.
 
The Sycamores will be back in action on Nov. 15 as they travel to Wisconsin to compete at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional meet.
