UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.--Penn State outfielder Michael Campo added National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) District I Player of the Year to his long list of growing accolades on Friday. With nine districts representing each of the 50 states, District I consists of colleges and universities in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

The senior had the season' longest hitting streak in the country at 41 games and hit .425 on the season. Campo closed out the year with 83 runs, 48 runs-batted-in, 24 doubles and six home runs.

All nine of the players were named All-American by at least one publication.
