NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's Brent Kitto was named Friday a 2015 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete in cross country.
Kitto, a senior from Chalmette, La., and a graduate of Holy Cross High School in New Orleans, is one of 210 men from 111 schools to receive the honor this season. It's the second consecutive year that Kitto received it, and it's the fifth consecutive year that the Gold Rush produced a Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete.
Student-athletes are nominated by their institution, must maintain a minimum grade-point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and must have achieved junior academic status to qualify for Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete.
Kitto is a pharmacy major and a two-time All-Gulf Coast Athletic Conference runner. Kitto produced nine top-10 finishes — seven in the top five — in three seasons at Xavier.
The Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets concluded their cross country seasons Nov. 6 at the Red River Athletic Conference Championships. They will compete in outdoor track and field beginning in early March.
