COLLEGE STATION -- Texas A&M soccer player Paige Carmichael was named a National Strength and Conditioning Association All-American in recognition of her achievement in the development of improved athletic performance through total conditioning.

“Paige is one of the most intense and determined athletes that I have ever had the pleasure to work with,” A&M strength and conditioning coach Paul Sealey said. “Her work ethic is one of the main reasons she was elected a team captain as a junior, she is always looking to do something extra to make herself and team better.”

Carmichael finished her junior campaign playing in all 24 of the Aggies’ matches. The Aggies’ co-captain scored one goal and chipped in six assists. Last week, at the team’s annual banquet, Carmichael was honored as the Iron Aggie for her achievement in the weight room and with the team’s Perseverance Award for her “never say die” attitude, overcoming all obstacles.
