TOWSON, Md. – Moravian College's Abbey Clark has been selected as the Landmark's Women's Outdoor Track & Field Senior Scholar Athlete for the 2015-16 season. Clark is the 22nd Greyhound to earn senior scholar accolades, and she is the third women's track & field honoree, joining Jessica Posimo (2009-10 – indoor) and Rachel Riggs (2009-10 – outdoor).

This spring, Clark helped Moravian capture its ninth consecutive Landmark Conference Outdoor Championship, and the squad also won its ninth straight Landmark Conference Indoor Title back in February.

Clark, who transferred to Moravian after two years at Mohawk Valley Community College, was the Landmark Conference Champion in the shot put outdoors this spring with a career-best toss of 11.63 meters (38-2), and she placed eighth in the hammer with a mark of 35.63 meters (119-10). At this past winter's indoor championship meet, Clark was second in the 20-pound weight throw with a toss of 13.81 meters (45-3.75) to earn Landmark All-Conference honors, and she was fourth in the shot put at 11.07 meters (36-4).

Clark was a member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society at Moravian, and she was named to the Dean's List in two of her four semesters in Bethlehem.

The Landmark Conference selects 20 senior scholar athletes each year to recognize the top student-athlete in each sport based on academics and athletics.

The honorees must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.20 and are selected by a committee of Landmark Conference officers, athletics directors, and sports information directors. Chosen at the end of each sport season, the eight spring honorees will be announced between May 19-25.
