University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> junior high jumper Lilian Turban earned second-team College Sports Communicators (CSC<\/abbr>) Academic All-America honors as one of the elite student-athletes in collegiate track and field. The announcement was made on July 9.<\/p>\n

Turban is just the second Rainbow Wahine track and field athlete to earn Academic All-America honors and the first since 2009. Only three-time Academic All-American Annett Wichmann (2007–09) has claimed the recognition. She is also the only Big West student-athlete to be on any of the three teams.<\/p>\n

The Tallinn, Estonia native finished the indoor season as a U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Second-Team Academic All-American after finishing 10th in the high jump at the NCAA<\/abbr> Indoor Championships<\/a>. Her appearance was the first by a Rainbow Wahine athlete since 2010, while making her only the third different UH<\/abbr> athlete ever to compete at the event.<\/p>\n

Turban secured a spot in the NCAA<\/abbr> Indoor Championships by jumping 1.86m (6-1.25) to take home her second consecutive high jump title at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF<\/abbr>) Indoor Championships. The mark of 1.86m is also the second-best mark all-time at UH<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

A communication major<\/a>, Turban has also earned CSC<\/abbr> Academic All-District recognition<\/a> and MPSF<\/abbr> All-Academic honors<\/a> this season for her athletic and academic accomplishments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
