As First Team honorees, all three are now eligible for National Academic All-America consideration.

Hubert, a senior from Newport, N.H., is a biology major with a 4.00 cumulative grade point average. A multiple Dean's List and Liberty League All-Academic selection, she captained both the women's cross country and track & field teams this season, leading the cross country squad to the NCAA Championship for the first time in school history.

The former Greater Claremont Christian High School standout, who is a member of the Tri-Beta Biological Honor Society, is also a Rensselaer Leadership Award honoree and was recently selected as the recipient of the 2010 Ballesian Prize, given to RPI's top academic student-athlete. A certified EMT, Hubert will attend medical school in the fall of 2010.
