CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Two North Carolina student-athletes - senior swimmer Stephen Mohr and junior golfer Richard Treis - have earned Verizon Academic All-District honors. Mohr was one of 10 named to the men's at-large District III first team, which includes the sports of fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming, tennis, volleyball, water polo and wrestling. Treis was named to the 10-member second team.
Mohr, a 2003 UNC graduate from Mequon, Wis., majored in economics and business administration. His grade point average of 3.962 is the highest among all Carolina senior student-athletes, and he earned postgraduate scholarships from the NCAA and the Atlantic Coast Conference. A team captain for 2002-03, he has been honored as the Tar Heels' Most Dedicated Swimmer and ranks in the top eight in UNC history in three events.
As a first-team All-District selection, he is in the running for a spot on the Academic All-America team, which will be announced June 10.
Treis, a junior from Baden-Baden, Germany, also is working toward a double major in economics and business administration. He has a 3.48 GPA. Treis won the 2003 ACC individual championship and earned All-ACC honors. He has a stroke average of 71.70 heading into the NCAA Championships, which begin on May 27.
