"Jamie is a performance-oriented person in every way, academically as well as athletically," said UAF Head Coach Glenn Dubis. "It does not surprise me when she earns academic awards. We're all very proud and happy for her."
"We're very proud of Jamie," said UAF Director of Athletics Dr. Cory Schwartz. "It's a very special honor for her, as she has put in the time academically as well as athletically. It's great to see her rewarded for her hard work."
Beyerle finished second overall in small bore competition at the 2005 NCAA Rifle Championships, losing a one-shot playoff for the individual championship. She finished sixth in the air rifle competition at the NCAA Championships and named first team All-American in both small bore and in air rifle.
