David Lutz, WSU's 2004-05 Male Student Athlete of the Year, is profiled in an article about his scholarship and athletic abilities. The Rochester Adams High School graduate, who is majoring in civil engineering at WSU, is carrying a 3.75 GPA and is an All-America swimmer. Lutz's busy schedule might have forced some college athletes to give up on sports, but he finds time to practice and compete while taking a full load of classes, working as an intern at the Michigan Department of Transportation and coaching young swimmers at the Detroit Yacht Club about 10 hours a week. "David found a way to get it done, "says men's swimming coach Sean Peters. Lutz practiced on his own much of time because of his hectic schedule. "David is very goal-oriented, not just for himself but the team," Peters explained. "He wanted our program to get better." Lutz has four All-American accolades and 10 All-America honorable mention performances during his four-year Wayne State career. "In a long list of deserving candidates, the accomplishments of David are singular," said Athletic Director Rob Fournier.
