PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Sports Information Directors of America (Philly-SIDA) organization has released the spring’s Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Teams and eleven Haverford College student-athletes have been honored for their successes in the classroom and on the fields of play, led by men’s track & field performer of the year Tim Schoch.

Honorees of the academic all-area teams were nominated and voted on by the Philly-SIDA sports information directors of the 28 institutions from the Philadelphia metropolitan area. In order to be eligible, an athlete must be in his or her second year at the institution and hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 or higher.

Schoch, a double-winner at both the indoor and outdoor Centennial Conference championships in 2011, helped cement his place as track & fields’ performer of the year by racing to All-America status at the indoor (distance medley relay, third place) and outdoor (1,500 meter run, third place) NCAA Division III championship meets. Teammate Anders Hulleberg, who participated in the 5,000 and 10,000 meter runs at the NCAA 2011 outdoor championship, joins Schoch on the men’s track & field all-area squad. Hulleberg was named the men’s cross country 2010 academic all-area performer of the year giving Haverford a sweep of the Inquirer’s men’s awards for the academic year.

Kylie Lipinski and Christina Neilson were voted onto the women’s track & field academic all-area team. Lipinski was named the Centennial Conference field performer of the meet at the indoor and outdoor conference championships, sweeping the long and triple jumps at the outdoor event after leaping to first place in the triple jump and third place in the long jump at the indoor meet.

Neilson swept the 55, 200 and 400 meter dashes at the league’s indoor championship to earn the Centennial’s track performer of the meet award. She raced to second-place finishes in the 100, 200 and 400 at the outdoor league meet before closing out her season at the NCAA championship meet with a 22nd place in the 400.

All-American and Centennial player of the year Charlie Carluccio was one of three Haverford players to be named to the Inquirer's academic all-area baseball team. Carluccio was voted onto the D3baseball.com all-America first team, and to the American Baseball Coaches Association all-America third team this spring. The senior shortstop led the Centennial in hits, RBIs and total bases, and established new single-season program marks for runs scored, hits and assists. He also set program career marks in runs, hits, RBIs and assists.

Also voted onto the academic all-area baseball team were senior third baseman Mike Galetta and senior second baseman Louis DeRosa. Like Carluccio, Galetta and DeRosa were first-team all-conference honorees. In addition, DeRosa was voted onto the American Baseball Coaches Association’s 2011 Mid-Atlantic Region ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove Team.

Haverford placed three student-athletes, each a United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) honorable mention all-American, onto the academic all-area men’s lacrosse team. Seniors Travis Gregory and Max Hjelm are joined on the 2011 team by junior Dillon Hamill. Both Hjelm and Hamill were also voted onto the 2010 academic all-area team.

Hjelm and Gregory, USILA Scholar-Athlete honorees, were first-team all-Centennial players who were invited to play in the prestigious USILA North-South Senior All-Star Game. Hamill was a second-team all-conference selection.

Josie Ferri was voted to her first academic all-area squad in 2011. A third-team Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association all-American and IWLCA all-Metro first-team selection, Ferri was a first-team all-Centennial player who led the league in game-winning goals. She led her team in points, goals, assists, caused turnovers, ground balls, draw controls and free-position goals.
