LONGVIEW – LeTourneau University juniors Nate Tomaszewski and Christin Mickelboro were named to the Division III Academic All-District second teams in their respective sports by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) this week.

Tomaszewski, an outfielder with the LeTourneau baseball team, was joined on the District 6 Second Team by seven other players from the American Southwest Conference.

Of the eight players named to the District 6 first and second softball teams, seven, including Mickelboro, are from the ASC.

Both Mickelboro and Tomaszewski are leaders on and off the field for their respective teams. Mickelboro led the YellowJackets softball team with a .445 batting average, while Tomaszewski was second on the baseball team with a .366 average.

Tomaszewski (Dove Canyon, Calif./Tesoro) is a marketing major whose grade-point average sat at 3.55 at the time of his nomination and is active in LeTourneau's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. On the field, he belted four home runs and 12 doubles, and led the YellowJackets in both on-base percentage (.467) and slugging percentage (.549).

At the conclusion of the season, Tomaszewski was named to the All-ASC East Second Team as an outfielder. A starter in every game in 2010 and 2011, Tomaszewski garnered All-ASC East accolades for the second year in a row.

Mickelboro (Longview, Texas/Longview) concluded her junior campaign as LeTourneau's career leader in home runs (22), RBIs (106), and hits (138). She currently is the school's career leader in batting average, having hit .416 in her three years as a member of the YellowJackets.

A civil engineering major who had a 3.32 GPA at the time of her nomination, Mickelboro led her team in eight batting categories, including home runs (10), runs batted in (40), on-base percentage (.523) and slugging percentage (.845). Last week she was named to the All-ASC East Division First Team.
