INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-Naval Academy junior Jessica Crocker (White Lake, Mich.), a member of the women's track team, has been selected to represent the Naval Academy at the 2001 NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference at Disney's Wide World of Sports and Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The conference will take place May 28-June 1.

Crocker is one of 300 student-athletes selected to attend the conference from a total of 1,084 nominations from NCAA member institutions that participate in the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program.

The mission of the NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference is to provide a diverse group of the nation's top student-athletes an opportunity to actively participate in challenging and thought-provoking activities that will enable them to become better leaders on their campuses and in their communities. As a result of participation, the student-athletes will enhance their communication skills, decision-making and problem-solving skills, critical-thinking skills, and collaborative skills. The conference also promotes better communication among student-athletes, coaches, administrators, faculty and communities.

The 2001 NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference will focus on topics identified during the nomination process as well as topics recommended by members of the Division I, II and III NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committees who serve as an Association-wide voice for student-athlete issues. Topics for past conferences have included developing leadership skills, changing perception, developing political skills and utilizing the student-athlete committee.
