IRVINE, Calif. - Dylan Fox is one of the newest members of the alumni base at Concordia University Irvine after a memorable final season as a First Team All-American long jumper.

The track and field star capped off his illustrious career with one more academic honor on Wednesday, becoming the first CUI student-athlete to be voted the PacWest Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

While he was honing his craft and becoming a 3-time PacWest Conference Champion and 3-Time All-American in the long jump, he was also preparing himself for his career. 

A business administration major at CUI with an emphasis on data analytics, Fox finished with an impressive 3.91 GPA while soaring to new heights on the track. The local Irvine, Calif. native also minored in computer science and gained valuable experience through three different internships these past few years. He even freelanced in web development and business process optimization.

His most recent internship was with a medical equipment manufacturer during this past spring semester.  In a span of about four months, he stepped right in using data analytics and automation, and presented to the company's CEO and stakeholders on the Executive team with examples of how to use technology in various new ways moving forward. He really enjoyed the experience and is pursuing a full-time opportunity with the company.

After being voted the PacWest Men's Track and Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year earlier this month for the second time in his college career, Fox was eligible along with the other sport-specific male winners for this prestigious honor.
