Jamestown College Athlete Named to All-American Team

CHICAGO, IL (July 27th, 2013) – Jamestown College Women's Cross Country and Track athlete, Bernie Bachel (Annandale, MN), has been named to NCSA Athletic Recruiting's 2013 Athleader All-American Team. The Athleader All-American Team was chosen based upon nominations received from coaches, Sports Information Directors and Athletic Directors across the nation.

Only eight athletes were selected for the 2012-2013 inaugural year of this award. To be chosen for the All-American Team, athletes have to embody the characteristics of an Athleader; which is defined by not only exceling on the field, but by putting their team first, valuing their education and having a thirst for learning. The "all-in" attitude of these players is made apparent through their all-out work ethic, as well as the legacy leave on the field, campus, and community. These athletes use these factors to lead by example and give back to empower others on their campus and in their community
