The CNMI\u2019s Carol Lee was truly brains and brawn last season as she followed up her ITA All-American selection by making it to the ACC All-Academic Team in school year 2022-2023.<\/p>\n

It marked the 22-year-old Georgia Tech Business Major\u2019s second inclusion in an all-academic team. She made it to the ITA All-Academic Team in 2021.<\/p>\n

Minimum academic requirements for selection to the all-ACC academic team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one\u2019s academic career. In addition, student-athletes must compete in at least 50 percent of their team\u2019s contests.<\/p>\n

Lee, who will be an incoming senior in the 2023-2024 school year, thanked her coaches, academic advisor, parents and the student athlete development at Georgia Tech for helping her out and pushing her to do well not only in sports also but in academics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to continue pursuing both academic and sports excellence until my final year. It\u2019s the student athlete\u2019s role to manage the time effectively. I think having personal goals and making a weekly plan as a student athlete are helpful. It helps with time management,\u201d she told Saipan Tribune<\/em> in a social media message.<\/p>\n

Lee, who is competing in a women\u2019s under-25 tournament in Thailand right now, said she had to sacrifice a lot to strike a good balance between her academics and her stint in the Yellow Jackets women\u2019s varsity tennis team.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving a social life with other students who are not student athletes, missing out on school events, or any sort of programs that\u2019s not related to sports, and having free and open days are some of the sacrifices I had to make.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another difficulty in being an achiever in both sports and academics is her sleep schedule.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMaintaining sleep consistently, being able to have time to eat lunch, having to sustain energy for the whole day are also some of the challenges,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Georgia Tech women\u2019s team tennis coach Rodney Harmon, meanwhile, said he continues to marvel at Lee\u2019s ability to be the best version of herself on the court and in the classroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarol is the epitome of a scholar-athlete. She excels not only on the court but also in the classroom,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lee led Georgia Tech with 29 singles victories last season. She capped the 2023 season as an ITA All-American after reaching the quarterfinals of the NCAA Singles Championship and earning a Top 16 seed in the individual tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Saipan Community School alumnae led Georgia Tech from the top singles position all season, producing a 17-7 record in dual action. She finished the season ranked No. 14 in the ITA national singles rankings.<\/p>\n

Lee is not the lone Yellow Jacket women\u2019s varsity player to make the 2023 All-ACC Academic Team as her teammates Kylie Bilchev, Alejandra Cruz, Monika Dedaj, Rosie Garcia Gross, Mahak Jain, and Kate Sharabura also made the grade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
