COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--The Mountain West Conference announced its 2010-11 Scholar-Athlete recipients and nine Utah gymnasts made the list. Considered one of the MWC's highest academic honors, a student-athlete must have completed at least two academic terms, while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better, and have participated in varsity competition in an NCAA-sponsored sport.

Senior Jacquelyn Johnson (3.58 in exercise and sport science) earned the award for the second time.
