---

ATLANTA - Liberty's Calli Doan was named the ASUN Conference Women's Outdoor Track and Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year, announced Wednesday by the league office. This marked a program first for the Flames. Doan was one of 12 student-athletes named to this year's All-Academic Team.

Doan is the first-ever Flame to garner the honor after recording a perfect 4.00 cumulative grade-point average while earning her Master's in Human Performance. At the ASUN Championship, the Apex, N.C., native captured the event title in the 3,000-Meter Steeplechase and fourth in the 1,500-Meter. Her Steeplechase time ranks No. 4 in ASUN Championship history. Doan clocked a 9:57.14 at the Stanford Invitational which ranks 24th in the NCAA this season. 

The All-Academic Team recognizes student-athletes who excel both on the track and in the classroom and exemplify the ASUN's mission of Building Winners for Life. All the members of the team boast a 3.50 cumulative grade point average or better and participated in at least half of their team's events.
