Congrats to this young man for all his work on the diamond and in the classroom:

Arrington made the President’s List for a perfect 4.0 GPA in the 2011 fall and 2012 spring semesters. While minoring in health, Arrington has also been earned numerous Dean’s List honors.

We just want to add this snippet from the article:

His selection as Southland Conference baseball “student-athlete of the year” marks the fourth time this season a Bearkat has earned the honor for his or her sport and the 15th time since 2007 that an SHSU athlete has been so recognized. The other three Southland “Student-Athletes of the Year” this season have been Travis Watson in football, Morgan Davis in women’s indoor track and field and James Glenn in men’s golf.
