DETROIT - Wayne State University student-athletes Alison Allen and Michael Wiseman were among the 12 selected to receive the Meijer 2011 Spring Commissioner's Awards from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

The GLIAC presents the awards after each athletic season to six male and six female student-athletes that excel both in the classroom and in competition.

Allen, a junior outfielder on the WSU softball squad, was voted to the All-America Second Team by both the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and Daktronics. She was selected to the College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-District First Team as well as the All-GLIAC First Team. The pre-med major also received GLIAC All-Academic Excellence honors.

This past season, Allen led the GLIAC in runs scored, was second in hits and total bases, and third in slugging percentage. She has started all 175 games played in her three seasons in the Green and Gold, and will enter her senior year already in possession of the school records for home runs (33) and slugging percentage (.633).

Receiving the Commissioner's Award for the second time in his career, Wiseman was a three-time All-American in 2011, and was voted Division II Defensive Player of the Year by the ABCA, as he posted a 1.000 fielding percentage and caught 18 runners stealing. The senior catcher led Wayne State with a .368 batting average (ninth in GLIAC) and a career-best 71 hits to lead the conference. The only Warrior to start all 56 games in 2011, Wiseman was instrumental in Wayne State winning a program-record 35 games and reaching the championship game of the NCAA Midwest Regional. He received All-GLIAC First Team honors for the third time in his career.

He was a team co-captain for the second straight year in 2011, served as president of the student-athlete advisory committee, and helped lead the baseball team to contribute over 1,500 hours of community service during the 2010-11 academic year. Wiseman also graduated from the WSU Business School this spring.
