A pair of beach volleyball student-athletes, plus one from the Rifle team, have been named on the women's at-large academic all-district teams, as selected by the College Sports Communicators.
MSU honorees include beach volleyball's Trinity Miller and Andrea Grimes and Grace Weber from Rifle.
The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) began the distinguished Academic All-America® program in 1952, and since then, has honored thousands of deserving student-athletes from numerous sports across all divisions with these elite Academic All-America® scholar-athlete honors. In 2022, CoSIDA rebranded itself as the College Sports Communicators (CSC). In 2022, the guidelines were updated to include more representation on the All-District teams. Sports have limitations to the number of athletes that can be nominated and the minimum grade-point average was raised to 3.50.
