Christenberry Award for Academic Excellence. The award is given to a graduating male and female student-athlete who attain the highest GPA during their undergraduate collegiate careers.

Big South member institutions nominate one male and one female student-athlete for the annual Christenberry Award, or multiple student-athletes that tie for the highest GPA on their respective campus.  The honor is named for George A. Christenberry, the former President of Augusta College (now Augusta University) and one of the founders of the Big South Conference. A member of the Big South Hall of Fame, Christenberry served as the league鈥檚 first President from 1983-86.

She was a member of the Sigma Zeta National Honor Society and received the Paul J. Stacy Award in Biology.

On the field, Jones started 40 matches for the Runnin鈥� Bulldogs and made 65 appearances over her four-year career, with five goals scored, 49 ground balls, and 30 caused turnovers, including a career-best 12 in the 2025 season.

Drescher, of Gainesville, Va., was a four-year member of the 成人视频 swimming program. He was named to the Dean鈥檚 List twice, President鈥檚 List six times, and graduated as part of Alpha Chi with a cumulative 4.0 GPA with his degree in graphic design, while working on a minor in theater arts.
