DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Former women's cross country and track standout and Davidson's first Walter Byers postgraduate scholarship winner Brenna Burns will be featured on the July episode of NCAA on Campus, airing originally at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday on ESPN Classic.
NCAA on Campus is a 30-minute look at college sports across the nation and features interviews with NCAA student-athletes and competitions. Fellow Walter Byers recipient Stanford gymnast Dylan Carney is featured along with Burns.
A standout both athletically and academically, Burns holds five Davidson records (the indoor 3,000 meters, the indoor and outdoor 5,000 meters, the outdoor 10,000 meters and the 5K) and has been named to the All-Southern Conference team four times—three in cross country and once in track. In addition to her record-setting performances, Burns, a psychology major, was named to the COSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team, Omicron Delta Kappa (National Leadership Society) and Psi Chi (National Honor Society in Psychology), and she was named the Most Outstanding Track Performer at the 2007 Indoor Southern Conference championships.
Burns has also been extremely active on her campus and in the community. She is a member of Changing Minds, Davidson's mental health awareness club and has volunteered in many capacities—as a tutor for Carolina Applied Behavior Analysis Service, an instructor for autistic children at a non-profit treatment center and a coach for Girls on the Run International.
The show will also be rebroadcast on ESPNU several times later in the month and eventually posted at www.ncaa.org.
