Priebe Receives Third CoSIDA All-District Academic Award
UW-Oshkosh senior golfer Kayla Priebe has been named to Google Cloud Academic All-District® 6 NCAA Division III Women's At-Large Team for the third straight year.
The 11-member squad, selected by College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) members, recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in the athletic realm and in the classroom.
The Academic All-District® 6 At-Large Team was comprised of student-athletes from institutions in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Student-athletes were selected from the sports of beach volleyball, bowling, crew/rowing, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming & diving, tennis and water polo.
First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the Google Cloud Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team (when selected) Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in June.
Priebe was one of two WIAC student-athletes selected to the 2019 Academic All-District® 6 At-Large Team. The other honoree was UW-Stevens Point swimmer Taylor Pehrson.
Priebe, a graduate of Fox Valley Lutheran High School in Appleton, owns a 4.00 cumulative grade point average as an accounting major. The four-time WIAC Scholastic Honor Roll member was named to the UW-Oshkosh Dean's List during all eight semesters of her attendance and received several academic scholarships.
