INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The NCAA Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) elected new leadership during its NCAA Convention meeting this week in Indianapolis. West Virginia State University's
Grace Martin was elected as one of two representatives on the division's Management Council.
The Management Council reports directly to the Presidents Council and is charged with recommending administrative policy and regulations that govern the division. The Management Council reviews and acts on recommendations from the Division II committee structure and from Division II representatives to committees with Association-wide functions. The Council also is responsible for appointing Division II representatives to those committees.
Martin was first appointed to represent the Mountain East Conference on the DII Student-Athlete Advisory Committee in Feb. of 2020. She was appointed for a non-renewable three-year term as a sophomore and will graduate this year. Martin has maintained a 4.0 grade point average as a Criminal Justice major at West Virginia State throughout her four years as a student-athlete. She was voted Second Team All-Region and First Team All-Conference after ranking in the top five in all of Division II in total blocks and blocks per set during her senior campaign.
