Just over a year ago upon her graduation senior Alyssa Abbott received a very prestigious NCAA Post Graduate scholarship. This year the PAC-12 has honored her with their Post Graduate scholarship. After sitting out two years in both cross country and indoor track due to injury during her Utah career, the NCAA granted Abbott a sixth year of eligibility in those sports. She took full advantage by finishing 24th at the PAC-12 championships and helping the Utes finish 8th in their first ever league meet. Then she finished 14th in the NCAA regional meet and just missed qualifying for the NCAA championships. On the indoor circuit she led off the school record distance medley relay team in 3:24 for 1200m. Their time of 11:05 was the first time in NCAA history for that time not to qualify for the championships. Abbott graduated last spring with a 3.899 GPA in exercise sport science. She is currently enrolled in Utah's physical therapy program. Congrats!
