Why Garnetta is a Student-Athlete of the Month . . . Garnetta is a very valuable member of the Vanderbilt Track & Field team. She is a multi-talented athlete who is having a very good season. She has battled through some injuries over the past two years which has limited her ability to compete but she is now at 100%. She has really asserted herself in the classroom and has done well. She has worked hard at developing productive study habits and has really excelled in time management and her grades have reflected that. She has proven to be a true achiever in the classroom and on the track and that is why I feel that she is worthy of being the Student-Athlete of the Month. --Max Martin
