The Feb. 15 edition of USA Today published a list of its 2006 All-USA College Academic Teams -- there is a first, second and third team. Senior Will Motley made the second team in the very competitive annual national contest. He is Middlebury's first second-team student; Dena Simmons '05 made the third team in 2005. Will is listed as a biochemistry major who discovered a new mouse gene that controls meiosis in mice and causes sterility if it is mutant. Most winners are students at universities.
