MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State volleyball earned six selections to the 2024 Academic All-Big 12 Team, including 4.0 grade-point averages from Molly Ramsey and Symone Sims.
K-State was one of three programs with two student-athletes boasting a 4.0 grade-point average, as Ramsey and Sims accounted for two of the nine perfect GPAs in the conference. The honor marked the fourth Academic All-Big 12 selection for Ramsey and first for Sims.
Joining Ramsey and Sims were graduate Liz Gregorski, senior Izzi Szulczewski, and juniors Ava LeGrand and Brenna Schmidt.
LeGrand and Schmidt each earned their second-career academic nod, while Gregorski and Szulczewski each made their way onto the Academic All-Big 12 Team for the first time.
