Caterpillar is proud to partner with NC State to present a program that honors the achievements of our student-athletes in the classrooms as well as on the playing fields. Each month two Wolfpack Scholar athletes will be selected as a member of the Caterpillar Scholar Athlete team. To be named to the Caterpillar Scholar Athlete team, a student-athlete must maintain a 3.00 GPA for at least one semester and be a full-time student at NC State.
During the Spring 2005 semester 236 Wolfpack Student Athletes achieved a semester GPA of 3.00 or higher and 118 student-athletes were Dean's List honorees.
This month Caterpillar and NC State are proud to honor Gymnastics' Brooke Outland and Track's Kent Dickens.

Brooke has also been named to the NC State Dean's List all four semesters she's been on campus. In addition, she was named to the ACC Honor Roll for the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 academic years.
Kent Dickens competes in the throwing events for the NC State Men's Track team. The rising sophomore also knows how to throw his weight around in the classroom. Kent has compiled a 3.95 Total Grade Point Average in his Civil Engineering major. The native of Raleigh, North Carolina was named to the NC State Dean's List during the Fall semester of 2004 and Spring semester of 2005.
