Former Pueblo standout Isaiah Hill was named First Team NJCAA Division II All-American on Wednesday playing for Pima. His Aztec teammate, Isaac Johnson (Oakland) was selected to the Honorable Mention Team.
For the Pima women, Kilee Sours-Miller (Dream City) and Melicia Nelson (Window Rock) were named First Team NJCAA Division II All-Americans.
This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to win either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognition. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know. amoralesmytucson@yahoo.com
