Former USC Olympic Gold Medalist Bruce Furniss will officially be honored as an inductee of the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame Class of 2020 at this year's 2021 Convention on June 7, 2021.
Joining Furniss in the 2020 class are Stacey Dales (Women's Basketball, Oklahoma), Michelle Johanes (Women's Volleyball, Mountain Holyoke) and Alex Smith (Football, University of Utah).
Furniss was selected in the honorary category due to the fact that there was no Academic All-America program for swimming at the time he competed at USC (1976-79).
