Leonard named to WIAC honor roll


Chanler Leonard, a native of Dodgeville and graduate of Mineral Point High School, was one of 367 University of Wisconsin-Whitewater student-athletes representing all 20 of the institution's varsity sport programs named to the 2015-16 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Honor Roll.
Leonard, a sophomore on the Warhawks' men's track and field team, is majoring in human resource management at UW-Whitewater. There were 36 men's track & field on the honor roll.
The Warhawks' 11 women's teams had 193 honorees, while 174 student-athletes from the nine men's teams garnered Scholastic Honor Roll accolades. The Honor Roll is part of the "WIAC Scholar-Athlete Recognition Program", a conference initiative sponsored by Badgerland Financial.
In addition to the 367 individual awards, UW-Whitewater was named an All-Academic institution as student-athletes earned a GPA equal to, or greater than, the collective GPA of the overall student body.
To be eligible for the list, student-athletes must have carried a 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. Nearly 50 percent of the WIAC's 5,000 student-athletes achieved Honor Roll status.
For more than 140 years, UW-Whitewater has provided students with the education and training to begin their careers with a solid foundation behind them. The UW-Whitewater is committed to the development of the individual, the growth of personal and professional integrity and respect for diversity and global perspectives. These are met by providing academic and co-curricular programs that emphasize the pursuit of knowledge and understanding and a commitment to service within a safe and secure environment.
