Anderson Earns Horizon League Scholar-Athlete Honors

    Indianapolis -- Youngstown State junior Bethany Anderson has been named the female U.S. Army Horizon League Scholar-Athlete of the Week, the league announced Wednesday.
    Anderson concluded her memorable junior year last weekend at the NCAA Mideast Regional where she finished eighth in the hammer with a school-record throw of 188 feet, 11 inches. Her finish was the highest ever for a YSU student-athlete at the regional and was just three places shy of earning an automatic invitational to the national championship meet.
    Earlier this year, Anderson was named YSU's female Vindicator Student-Athlete of the year. She won two events at both the Horizon League indoor and outdoor championships, and she was voted the Horizon League Female Athlete of the Year during the indoor season.
    In the classroom, Anderson boasts a 3.35 grade-point average as a health/pre-med major. She is a three-time
Academic All-League honoree.
