Corrine Doornberg has received the University of Mississippi’s highest academic honour.
Doornberg was one of 64 recipients of the Taylor Medal in the College of Liberal Arts last week at the university’s annual honours convocation.
The Brookswood graduate is a fourth-year infielder on the Rebels’ women’s softball team. She was one of three from the team to earn the honour.
The Taylor Medal recognizes outstanding academic performance and is given to no more than one per cent of the student body. To be considered, a student must have a grade point average of at least 3.9.
The 22-year-old Doornberg has a 3.93 average in civil engineering and is a member of the Honours College. She is a three-time member of the Southeast Conference (SEC) academic honour roll.
On the field, Doornberg is batting .316 for the Rebels and is tied for second with 25 runs scored.
Prior to heading south, Doornberg played club ball for the White Rock Renegades and was a member of the 2007 Canadian junior women’s national team.
