TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama gymnast Kassi Price, who continues to earn honors for a standout sophomore season, was named to the ESPN the Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District 4 At-Large team it was announced this week. Price earned first-team honors and will be on the ballot for Academic All-American honors which will be announced later this summer.

The Plantation, Fla. native, who holds a perfect 4.0 grade point average in business, is a two-year All-American on the uneven bars. Price finished the 2008 regular season ranked third in the nation on the uneven bars and helped lead the Crimson Tide to its 24th top-six finish at the NCAA Championships.

"I'm very proud of Kassi and what she has accomplished, both in the gym and in the classroom," Alabama head coach Sarah Patterson said. "She works extremely hard and is dedicated to succeeding in all aspects of the student-athlete experience, and I think this award attests to that fact."
