AÂ week after winning the WAC long jump title, Grand Canyon University senior Brianne Kee has been selected to the Capital One Academic All-District 8 Track/Cross Country team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
"Bri is an incredibly talented student-athlete, both on the track and in the classroom," said head coach Tom Flood. "This honor is well-deserved and reflects all the hard work and dedication she has shown throughout her career!"
Kee now advances to the national ballot for NCAA All-American consideration.
The Peoria, Ariz., native is pursuing her master's of business administration and currently boasts a 4.00 GPA. Kee finished her undergraduate degree in Finance and Economics with a 3.99 GPA.
Kee helped the GCU women capture the WAC indoor title last March and most recently led the Lopes to a runner-up finish at this year's WAC Outdoor Championships.
Kee, a product of Sunrise Mountain High School, capped off her standout career at GCU last weekend at the WAC Outdoor Championships, taking home the conference long jump title after recording a leap of 5.93 meters. She also finished fifth in the triple jump and seventh in the 100-meter dash at the championships.
In 2013, Kee was named Capital One Academic All-District and was an All-American in the long jump.
"Bri has a very special place in my heart," added Flood. "She started with me five years ago, when we didn't even have a track facility on campus, and has definitely left her mark on our track and field program. She will be dearly missed!"
