Furman Cross Country's Rebekah Potts Awarded NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship

GREENVILLE, South Carolina -- Furman cross country's Rebekah Potts has
been awarded an NCAA Postgraduate scholarship worth $7,500, it was
announced this week. The senior from Columbia, S.C., is one of 29 NCAA
female student-athletes who participated in a fall sport to receive the
prestigious award.

Potts, a chemistry major who carries a 4.00 GPA, is a four-year
letterwinner in cross country and is also a member of the Lady Paladin
track team and Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll selection. She
posted a season-best 11th place finish in cross country at the Milliken
Invitational in Spartanburg, S.C., in September.

Potts becomes the 13th Furman student-athlete and just the third Lady
Paladin to earn an NCAA postgraduate scholarship. Furman's last winner
came in 2003 when men's tennis player James Cameron was honored with one
of the 174 scholarships given annually.
