In 2002 the Cuesta Athletic Department established and named the Warren Hansen Scholar-Athlete Award in recognition of former Cuesta Athletic Director Warren Hansen's 36-year commitment to academic excellence. A student must maintain a 3.5 GPA and is also nominated on basis of their citizenship and athletic performance. This year's winner of the Female Warren Hansen Scholar-Athlete Award is Star Volleyball Player Christelle Mouret (Morro Bay HS).
Christelle Mouret has done it all for Cuesta Women's Volleyball the past two seasons and matched her excellence on the court with a superior performance in the classroom. Mouret was selected as Cuesta Volleyball's 2021 Player of the Year, as well as Cuesta's top female scholar-athlete. Mouret freshman season was limited by the pandemic to only seven matches, but it was good preview for Mouret's performance this year. In that brief Spring snapshot, she paced the Cougars with 3.5 points per set, while also leading the team with 16 aces and adding 78 kills in 28 sets. This Fall, she blossomed into a Star and was named to the 2021 All-Western State Conference First Team on the court and the all-WSC Academic Team in the classroom. She was named Cuesta Women's Volleyball Player of the Year and led the Cougars with 205 kills, set a new school record with 51 service aces and was third on the team with 219 digs. Mouret also led the Cougars, again, with 3.0 points per set and helped snap the program's decade-plus long playoff draught, as Cuesta reached the post-season for the first time since 2007. Mouret, despite playing only seven matches during the pandemic shortened 2020-21 season, ranks 5th all time with 67 career aces. She also compiled an impressive 3.875 GPA at Cuesta.
Christelle shall represent Cuesta at the Conference and State level as Cuesta College's CCCAA Scholar Award nominees. Her nomination will move forward to the conference level in September.
Cuesta has earned more CCCAA Scholar-Athlete Awards than any other community college.
