COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Kevin Lindholm and Kristina Harter are the recipients of Chadron State College’s Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference’s Honor Student-Athlete Awards for 2012-13.

The awards are given for outstanding achievement in both academics and athletics. The RMAC annually recognizes one male and one female athlete from each of its member institutions with the student-athlete awards. The names of the CSC honorees are placed on a banner in Armstrong Gymnasium.

Both Lindholm and Harter were stellar team leaders and students.

Lindholm, a senior from Eads, Colo., was a three-time Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference First Team selection and a consensus All-American. In 2012, he led the Eagles with 122 tackles. He added 20.5 tackles for a loss and he also had 4.5 sacks and three fumble recoveries.

He was named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year and finished his career with 299 tackles, the ninth most in school history. His 37.5 tackles for loss in his career ranks him fifth at CSC.

He has a 3.65 GPA while majoring in education. He was named to the RMAC All-Academic First Team three times and the second team once.
