Record-Breaking Athletes of the Year The Georgia Tech Athletics Association named graduating senior Andrew Kosic (men’s swimming) and sophomore Kaela Davis (women’s basketball) as its Athletes of the Year. Kosic (1) earned two All-American swimming honors in 2015, and helped set five new Tech swimming records this season, including breaking the 50m freestyle record three times. In total, Kosic left GT holding eight different records. Meanwhile, Yellow Jacket guard Davis (2) set Tech’s single-season scoring record in women’s basketball with 652 points, averaging 19.2 points per game. She was named to the 2015 All-ACC first team and was chosen as the 2015
Georgia Women’s Basketball Player of the Year by the Atlanta Tipoff Club.
The Kick & The Pick The Georgia Tech football team was named the Best AllAround Team for 2014-15 after posting its fifth 11-win season in team history and its first Orange Bowl Championship since 1952. The Best Sports Moment of the year was the combined plays dubbed “The Kick & The Pick” from the regular season— Harrison Butker’s (3) 53-yard field goal to force overtime and D.J. White’s (4) interception to clinch Tech’s win over the University of Georgia.
