Two Drake players named top student-athletes

des moines, Iowa - Two drake athletes have been honored as co-recipients of the school's outstanding student-athlete award.

Adam Emmenecker and jill martin on Monday were given the Tim and Jerry howlett Memorial Award during the annual bulldog corn feed monday night at drake's knapp center.

Emmenecker led the men's basketball team to the missouri valley conference regular-season title last year and the team's first ncaa tournament berth since 1971. He set a single-season school record in the process with 213 assists, and earned an honorable mention on the Associated Press All-America men's basketball team.

Martin was a three-time first-team All-missouri valley conference player, the fourth player in the school's women's basketball program to do so.
