AUGUSTA, Ga. (GCSU RELEASE) – The Peach Belt Conference (PBC) announced its Women’s Cross Country All-Academic Team Tuesday, with Georgia College’s Rachel Pasko (Jefferson, Ga.) and Taylor Roeck (Cumming, Ga.) earning slots.

Pasko owns a perfect 4.00 GPA in biology as a sophomore. Classmate Roeck has a 3.92 in marketing.

In the six years of honoring these academic stars, the Bobcat women’s cross country team has now put 17 on the list.

Fellow Bobcats Whitney Sweet (Roswell, Ga.) and Meghan Wetterhall (Atlanta) each earned Honorable Mention status.
