posted by: Josh
It???s a big deal when any college student earns a spot on the university???s Dean???s List. It???s an even bigger deal, however, when the student does it at one of the nation???s most respected public universities in a country that is unfamiliar. Since arriving at Georgia Tech three years ago, Sweden native Chioma Nnamaka has picked up impeccable English and mastered her academic work. Nnamaka, who hails from a town just north of Stockholm, has also become one of the ACC???s top basketball players. With a three-point shot that rarely misses, Chioma averaged 13 points per game for the Yellow Jackets this season. She also grabbed nearly five rebounds per contest. Chioma comes from a family of basketball players, as older brother Oluoma played at Marquette and now plays professionally in Italy. Sisters Azuka and Ifeanyi also play overseas. With a strong focus on her academics and top-notch abilities on the court, Nnamaka will have plenty of choices upon her graduation next spring.
