GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – North Carolina’s Kelli Wheeler has been recognized as the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference Softball Scholar-Athlete of the Year, announced today by the conference office. Wheeler highlights the 2012 All-ACC Academic Softball Team. A senior majoring in Exercise Sport Science with minors in Chemistry and Business Adminstration, Wheeler was a member of the 2012 All-ACC Second Team and helped lead the Tar Heels to a regular season conference title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. A native of Marietta, Ga., Wheeler led the ACC in slugging percentage (.618) and total bases (105). Additionally, she ranked in the top ten in batting average (.329), on-base percentage (.457), runs scored (46), hits (56), RBIs (36), home runs (12), and walks (33). Wheeler was named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Southeast Region Second Team, CoSIDA’s Academic All-District First Team for District 3, and she was recognized as a NFCA Scholar-Athlete. She was also voted to the 2012 ACC All-Tournament Team. This is her third career All-ACC Academic honor. Boston College’s Irene Delagrammaticas earned her fourth-career conference academic honor. Georgia Tech’s Kate Kuzma, Kelsi Weseman, and Shannon Bear, North Carolina’s Wheeler, Virginia’s Taylor Williams, and Virginia Tech’s Courtney Liddle garnered their third accolade. Wheeler, the Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and Weseman, the Player of the Year, are joined by Kuzma, Liddle, Boston College’s Nicole D’Argento, and Florida State’s Tiffani Brown as members of the 2012 All-ACC Academic Team and the 2012 All-ACC Team.
