FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 11, 2017 CoSIDA Academic All-District™ Women’s At-Large Team Released The 2016-17 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District™ Women’s At-Large Team has been released to recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. The Academic All-District™ teams include the student-athletes listed on the following pages and are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the sixth year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America® Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools. The Division II and III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2016-17 DII and DIII Academic All-America® teams program. First-team Academic All-District™ honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third- team All-America® honorees will be selected later this month. For more information about the Academic All-District™ and Academic All-America® Teams program, please visit www.cosida.com. # # # 2017 Academic All-District™ Women’s At-Large Team District 1 NCAA DIVISION I (CT, MA, ME, NH, NY, RI, VT) FIRST TEAM Sport Name School Yr.
