Pac-10 Player of the Year Burkholder not afraid of long hours

In order to be a Division I athlete, a student must perform well both in the classroom and on the court.

That's not a problem for UA senior setter Dana Burkholder, who has excelled at both during her first three years at Arizona.

As the catalyst of the UA offense, Burkholder led the Wildcats last season to the team's first Elite Eight appearance. She also pulled in first team All-America and Pacific 10 Conference Player of the Year honors.
