Congrats Thomas!

Van der Mars named First Team Academic All American

Something that might have gone unnoticed in the excitement of Thomas' selection as a First Team Academic All-America, was Thomas' and Riley Barker's selection to the 10 man WCC All-Academic team.

Congratulations to Riley and Thomas, you've each made Pilots fans and your mum and dad proud.

I'm sure it's not lost on anyone who visits this forum, but it's been great having the Canadian and the Dutchman help keep the Pilots academic standards at a high level during their years at UP.
