On June 27, outgoing senior Mike Hall received one of 58 NCAA postgraduate scholarships for his academic performance and athletics success.

The scholarship - valued at $7,500 - is given by the NCAA to 29 male and 29 female student-athletes participating in spring sports. The NCAA gives the same number of postgraduate scholarships to fall and winter sport athletes as well.

Hall, already honored as an ESPN the Magazine All-American, finished second in the decathlon at the Heptagonal Championships in the Spring.

He plans on continuing his education at Penn's medical school, and is the fifteenth Penn student-athlete to receive a postgraduate scholarship. The last to do so was '05 graduate Katy Cross, who played soccer for the Red and Blue.
