Brent Warner Earns Academic All-America Accolades

June 23, 2004

Senior Brent Warner became the most recent Blue Devil to earn Academic All-America honors as he was named to the Men's University Division Track & Field/Cross Country second team, as voted on by CoSIDA. A total of 48 male student-athletes from 41 different NCAA Division I institutions were honored on the first, second and third teams.

In order to be eligible for Academic All-America honors, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale), must be a starter or important reserve and be in at least their second season of athletic and academic eligibility at their current school.

Warner, a native of Wadsworth, Ohio, was a star for the Blue Devils both on the field and in the classroom. He finished his Duke career as the school record-holder in the men's pole vault, recording a top mark of 17-2.75 during the 2004 outdoor season. Warner, an All-American in 2003, was a five-time All-ACC and All-East performer and earned two IC4A titles. A biomedical engineering major with a 3.878 cumulative GPA, Warner was awarded both an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and the ACC's Weaver-James-Corrigan Postgraduate Scholarship.
