Tulsa - The University of Tulsa announced today that track and field senior Caitlin Clancy has been named a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship, one of the World's most prestigious international fellowships.

Clancy is a mechanical engineering major from Tucson, Arizona. While she's obviously distinguished herself as a student, she's also done very well in athletics. She holds Tulsa's top three outdoor and indoor marks in the pole vault.

Clancy was a 2009 Conference USA Academic Medalist and was named to the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll and last year was named to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America Third Team.

She's also received a 2009 Goldwater Scholarship, which is the premier award for recognizing students pursuing careers in Science, Mathematics and Engineering.

Clancy will interview with the Rhodes committee later this month in Los Angeles.
