GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Grove City College sophomore men's tennis player Jeremy Dwyer (Duncansville, Pa./Hollidaysburg) has been named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA)/ESPN The Magazine Men's At-Large College Division Academic All-District First Team. Dwyer earned First Team honors through voting by the region's sports information directors this week.

Dwyer is a two-year starter for Grove City (10-2 overall in 2007) and has helped the Wolverines capture two Presidents' Athletic Conference titles during his career. In 2007, Dwyer posted an 11-1 record in singles play and a 10-2 mark in doubles play. He led the PAC in total singles wins and overall wins this spring. He capped his sophomore season by winning conference titles at both fifth singles and third doubles.

Dwyer opened the season by earning the PAC's Player of the Week award. For his efforts in 2007, Dwyer's teammates selected him as the team's Most Valuable Player. As a freshman in 2006, Dwyer won conference titles at fourth singles and third doubles.

In the classroom, he has compiled a 3.90 cumulative grade-point average while majoring in electrical engineering. He is a Dean's List student and a Presidential Scholarship recipient. Dwyer has been inducted into the Kappa Mu Epsilon math honorary and has also been named to the PAC Academic Honor Roll.
