Bartlett Named First Team Academic All-District

ST. LOUIS, MO. – Senior catcher Katie Bartlett of the University of Missouri-St. Louis softball team has been selected to the 2010 ESPN The Magazine College Division Academic All-District VII Softball First Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Bartlett, who holds a cumulative grade point average of 4.00 in biology (pre-med) with a minor in Spanish, has been among the team offensive leaders this season. She finished her senior campaign with a .336 batting average and 45 hits, including 11 home runs and six doubles. Bartlett’s 11 home runs set a new UMSL single season record and ranked third in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. She also tallied 36 RBIs and scored 28 runs.

Bartlett, who was named the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Week during the first week of the season, helped UMSL to an overall record of 26-20 and its third straight GLVC Tournament berth. The Tritons finished the Great Lakes Valley Conference season with a 15-11 record.

To be eligible for nomination to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team, student-athletes must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average. Bartlett is now eligible for selection to the Academic All-America Team based on her first team accolades.
