ENMU athletes honored

PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico University has named juniors Andre Hughes and Mikaehla Connor the men’s and women’s academic athletes of the year for the 2016-17 season.

“Both Mikaehla and Andre are fine representatives of this honor,” ENMU athletic director Greg Waggoner said. “Their leadership, reliability, consistency, resiliency and skills on the court, in the classroom and in the community represent what Greyhound athletics is about.”

Hughes, a physical education major from Killeen, Texas, started all 27 games for the men and averaged 8.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

Connor, a biology major with an emphasis in pre-medical science, was named to the Lone Star Conference women’s basketball all-academic team. She helped ENMU share the LSC title with Angelo State — the program’s first LSC crown.
