Christensen, Krzysik and Glading UVa's Top Athletes UVa Athletics Media Relations, Official Release Mei Christensen (women's swimming), Nikki Krzysik (women's soccer) and Danny Glading (men's lacrosse) were honored as Virginia's top female and male athletes for the 2008-09 academic year at UVa's annual awards dinner Wednesday (April 29) at John Paul Jones Arena. Christensen and Krzysik were co-recipients of the IMP Award as the top female athletes, and Glading received the WINA Award as the top male athlete. Christensen, a junior from Reston, Va., was named the 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Swimmer of the Year after earning All-America honors in both the 100 and 200 backstroke events and competing with four relay teams that earned All-America honors at the NCAA Championships. She won both the 100 and 200 backstroke events in school, conference and meet record time at the ACC Championships. Christensen was also a member of four championship relay teams and was named Swimmer of the ACC Championships after helping the Virginia women's swimming and diving team win its second consecutive conference title. Krzysik, a senior defender from Clifton, N.J., concluded her Virginia career last fall by playing every minute for a team that posted nine shutouts and allowed just 5.1 shots per game during the 2008 season. Offensively, she added three goals and three assists. Krzysik was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year and earned first team All-ACC honors for the second consecutive season. She was a semifinalist for the Hermann Trophy and a first-team NSCAA All-American. Glading, a senior attackman from Bethesda, Md., leads the Virginia men's lacrosse team with 51 points this season. He has scored 24 goals and has 27 assists. Glading is a three-time All-ACC selection and he recently became just the sixth player in conference history to score at least 100 career goals and have 100 career assists. He earned second-team All-America honors in 2008 and third-team All-America honors in 2007. Read about other award recipients at Virginiasports.com.

This Week In Recruiting Virginia's new coaching staff is hitting the recruiting trail, evaluating and determining its top 2010 class targets. Last week, the EDGE profiled three potential targets in North Carolina combo guard Brian Richardson, Illinois shooting guard Alex Rossi and Texas forward Michael Cobbins. Of the three prospects, only Cobbins has an official offer from Coach Bennett and company. A 6-8, 215-pound prospect, Cobbins averaged 18.6 points and 12 rebounds per game last season for Palo Duro High School in Amarillo. In addition to Virginia, Cobbins also boasts offers from Georgia Tech, Indiana State, New Mexico and Southern Cal. 6-5 Brian Richardson, who is playing for Boo Williams' AAU squad this spring and summer, had an offer from Virginia's previous staff. As of last Sunday, he wasn't sure where he stood with the new staff but continues to express interest in UVa. TheSabre.com hopes to have more on Richardson this coming weekend at the Hoop Group Southern AAU tournament. Rossi, a 6-5 guard out of New Trier (Winnetka), may visit Virginia later this spring or summer but first wants to gauge where he stands on Coach Bennett's wish list. Known for his shooting ability, Rossi has been invited to Virginia's Elite Camp but isn't sure if he will make the trip. Rossi currently holds offers from California and Northwestern, among others, and is drawing heavy interest from Stanford and Virginia. These four programs make up Rossi's current favorites list. We hope to have more on Alex this week as well, as he planned on speaking with the Virginia staff this past weekend. In addition to catching up with Richardson, TheSabre.com hopes to have more basketball recruiting info from the Southern Invitational this weekend.
Football recruiting ... A Nike Training Camp took place Sunday in Charlottesville. The weather was not great, but a good amount of talented prospects still made the trek. UVa hosted some talented prospects the day before as well, including Roanoke Rapids (N.C.) defensive end/outside linebacker Kareem Martin, a 6-6 rising senior who is rising high in recruiting ranks. Martin made an unofficial visit to Virginia last month as well and has listed the Cavaliers in his top three along with Duke and Virginia Tech. He has been offered by all three favorites as well as a handful of others, and we'll check back with Martin for thoughts on his latest trip to Charlottesville. We'll also check in on other recruits who were in town. Another OLB/DE prospect, Green Run's (Virginia Beach, VA) Jamal Wallace, did not make Saturday's visit as planned. He did, however, attend Sunday's camp and toured some of the Grounds following the event. Wallace enjoyed his time according to Green Run head coach Shawn Wilson and may return to Charlottesville for another visit later this week. We'll check in with Wallace for more later in the week.

Issue No. 37 - May 16, 2002 Southern Invitational Notes
Over 90 AAU teams participated in the 3rd annual Southern Invitational Tournament in Charlottesville last weekend. Among those teams there were many high profile recruiting targets for UVa's basketball program. Junior guard J.R. Reynolds, who has already committed to the Hoos, played for Boo Williams alongside sophomore guard Marquie Cooke. Reynolds performed well, but was criticized by a few 'recruiting analysts' for not performing as well as he was hyped. Unfortunately, many of these recruiting analysts don't pay much attention to the real traits of a point guard, like leadership and passing ability. Reynolds, unlike many guards that play in these events, chose to play unselfishly and lead his team to a landslide in the tournament championship game. In one of the closest games that Boo Williams' team played, Reynolds hit free throws to send the game into overtime, and then hit free throws to win it in the end. There's no doubt that Reynolds will help the Cavaliers in the years to come. He has tremendous talent and a great attitude. Reynolds told this writer that he is absolutely firm in his commitment to the Hoos and has never wavered, contrary to other reports a few months ago.
