SALT LAKE CITY -
University of Utah gymnast Kristina Baskett is on the CoSIDA Academic All-America at-large ballot after making the all-District VIII first team. Baskett won four All-America awards, including a second-place finish on the vault and a bronze medal in the all-around, at the 2008 NCAA Championships. The junior, who maintains a 3.56 GPA in mass communication, helped Utah to its third straight NCAA runner-up finish in Athens, Ga., in April.
She is one of two Utes to win academic all-district honors. Sophomore Daria Bijak, who won second-team All-America honors in the all-around and on the floor exercise, was named to the Academic all-District VIII second-team. Bijak, a theater major, boasts a 3.93 cumulative GPA.
Both Baskett and Bijak Baskett qualified for the University of Utah's Dean's List and were recently named Scholastic All-Americans by the National Gymnastics Coaches Association.
The Academic All-America At-Large team will be announced on June 12.
