CARBONDALE, Ill. - Southern Illinois cross country runner Tori Parry was one of 10 student-athletes to earn the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Leadership & Service Award, the conference announced on Thursday.
Hailing from Jackson, Mo., Parry was rewarded for her hard work in and out of the classroom. Holding a 3.395 GPA, the senior was a 2013 MVC Scholar-Athlete and has been named to the MVC Conference Honor Roll three consecutive years.
