Cooper Schroeder was named to the men’s team, while Alyson Churchill, Caisa-Marie Lindfors, and Agnes McTighe were named to the women’s. The honor recognizes the top student-athletes in the country for their combined performances in athletics and in the classroom and is given by the College Sports Communicatiors. All four Noles are eligible for the CSC Academic All-America ballot where first, second, and third teams will be announced on June 28-29.
