Samantha Camello Named a Mountain West Scholar Athlete

2015 Jul 29

Thirty-four San Diego State University student-athletes were named 2014-15 Mountain West Scholar-Athletes, the league announced Wednesday morning. SDSU's total for the 2014-15 academic year surpassed last season's total by one when it had 33 honorees.

Samantha Camello, a member of SDSU's Softball team and Psychology major from Temecula, was among the awardees.

The MW Scholar-Athlete Award is one of the highest academic honors bestowed by the Conference. To be eligible for selection, student-athletes must have completed at least two academic terms at the member institution, while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better, and have participated in varsity competition in a Mountain West-sponsored sport.

The scholar-athlete announcement comes days after a school-record 69 Aztecs were named to the Spring 2015 Mountain West All-Academic Team.
