State Sends Trio To All-Region Squads
McMichael Earns First Team Nod; Jaspers, Waterman On Second Team
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Senior all-American Iyhia McMichael earned first team all-South Region accolades for the third-straight year, while Kate Jaspers and Jennifer Waterman earned their first such accolades as members of the second team as the NFCA All-Region Teams were announced late Wednesday afternoon.
McMichael will now be eligible to garner her second consecutive all-American laurels. The recognition for her, as well as Jaspers, follows the SEC awards announced last Wednesday, which included both as part of the first team all-SEC squad.
The number of all-region team members marked a new high for the Bulldogs, surpassing a pair sent to each of the 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 teams. The trio were three of 15 Southeastern Conference athletes named to the squads.
