In the era of one-and-done, the term student-athlete is becoming more scrutinized, however for one Aztec, the term is literal.
San Diego State track and field’s Christine Kent, who also ran for the cross-country team last semester, is a graduate student working on her master’s degree in nutritional science.
Kent arrived to the Mesa as a graduate from the University of South Carolina as Magna Cum Laude with a degree in nursing and for all eight semesters as a Gamecock she was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
As a part of the cross-country team, she was the first Aztec finisher in five of their seven races and the university’s record holder in the 6K.
