WACO, Texas - Baylor student-athletes Kerry O'Bric and Melanie Hagewood have been named to the 2001 Verizon Academic All-District VI Women's Spring At-Large teams, the College Sports Information Directors announced Tuesday. O'Bric, a senior track and field athlete, was one of 10 athletes to earn first-team honors, while Hagewood, a sophomore golfer, was selected to the 10-member second team.

She carries a 3.75 grade point average in chemistry and is currently ranked 14th in the NCAA in the heptathlon. O'Bric was a first-team academic all-Big 12 selection this season.

She is currently ranked 96th nationally in the MasterCard Collegiate Golf rankings after posting three top-five and five top-10 finishes during the 2000-2001 school year. Last fall, Hagewood led Baylor to the team title at the Wolverine Invitational in Michigan.
