SEATTLE -- Another Seattle Pacific distance runner has gone the distance in the classroom. Lisa Anderberg, who picked up her degree last month as a global development studies major, has been awarded an NCAA post-graduate scholarship.
Anderberg (Edmonds, Wash./Kamiak HS) becomes the fourth member of the Falcon cross country and track programs from this past school year to earn one of the coveted $7,500 scholarships.
In March, Jessica Pixler, Jane Larson and Suzie Strickler were named post-grad scholarship winners.
Anderberg finished with a 3.92 grade-point average while participating in three sports. Last November, she was part of the Falcons' cross country team that came home from the NCAA Division II national meet with the fourth-place trophy.
During the winter, Anderberg ran the third leg (800 meters) on the indoor track 4,000-meter distance medley relay team that won the NCAA championship. She capped her Falcon career this spring on the outdoor track with an eight-place -- and All-American -- finish in the NCAA 800 meters.
Seattle Pacific student-athletes now have won 29 NCAA post-grad scholarships. The four won for the just-completed school year is the highest single-year total in school history.
