Schluntz and Greene Selected to SCAC All-Sportsmanship Teams

San Antonio - Trinity Tigers junior Mark Greene and senior Julianne Schluntz have been selected for the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Men's and Women's Cross Country All-Sportsmanship Teams, respectively.

The SCAC places a special emphasis on sportsmanship, and honors individual student-athletes who display sportsmanship throughout the year.

Greene (San Antonio/International School of the Americas), an East Asian studies major, had an excellent showing at the DIII Little State Championships at Abilene, Texas, finishing eighth of 82 runners in the 8k event. He clocked in at 27:13. 63. Trinity's men placed second of eight teams. Greene was 35th of 90 competitors at the SCAC Championship at Sewanee, Tenn., with a time of 28:02, as the team finished in fourth place. He took the No. 38 slot (of 150 runners) at the NCAA Division III South/Southeast Regional at Seguin, Texas, crossing the finish line in 27:48.8. The Tiger squad placed 11th of 23 teams.

He is actively involved in the community, including mission trips with his church, assisting with the Under the Bridge feeding the homeless program, and a visit to the Sunshine Cottage School for the Deaf.

Schluntz (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Academy), a psychology major who will graduate this month, has been described by Tiger men's and women's head cross country Coach Jenny Breuer as the the "team cheerleader." According to Coach Breuer, Schluntz always encourages her teammates to push the envelope.

Injured for the latter part of the season, Schluntz teamed with Jordan Hanson and finished 14th (32:15) at the Trinity Hokum Karem Relay on campus. Two-person teams competed in the season-opening event, and ran legs of 1,885 meters. The Tiger men and women emerged as team champions. Schluntz placed 33rd of 56 competitors at the 6k DIII
Little State Championships (25:58.08), helping her teammates bring home the title.

Schluntz is a member of Trinity's service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, works with children in occupational therapy, and makes regular visits to Baptist Children and Family Services.
