Sam Beskind (Stanford Photo)

Former Catalina Foothills basketball standout Sam Beskind (Stanford), former Sabino swim standout Taylor Nations (Arizona) and former Catalina Foothills swim standout Brooks Fail (Arizona) were named to the Pac-12 Winter Academic Honor Roll. Student-athletes must have a 3.3 GPA or above and be enrolled at the institution for more than one year.

Taylor Nations (Arizona)

This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know.

Brooks Fail (Arizona)
