By Jeff Weiss

Chelsea High School’s 2021 graduate Natalie Davies, senior at Wayne State University, has earned the Deans’ Award for her second year in a row and was presented her award on April 21.

The Wayne State University Department of Athletics honored all student-athletes during the Third Annual Golden W’s, held at the Hilberry Gateway Theatre.

Ten Deans’ Award winners were recognized for having the highest cumulative grade-point average among all student-athletes in that particular college, and Davies was the recipient for the College of Fine, Performing, and Communication Arts.

Davies is a member of the women’s cross country and track & field squad. A Journalism major with a 3.935 cumulative GPA, she has achieved Athletic Director’s Honor Roll (term GPA 3.5+) status all seven semesters, including four times with a perfect 4.00 term GPA.  She has earned nine letters at WSU (four in cross country, three in indoor track and two in outdoor track).
