18 Tech Nordic skiers honored for academics

DENVER – The Michigan Tech Nordic ski teams had 18 Huskies named to the United States Collegiate Ski Coaches Association (USCSCA) All-Academic Team.

The list of Huskies includes every member of the men's team. The teams combined for a 3.75 cumulative grade-point average with 10 Huskies earning 4.0s during the fall semester.

To qualify for the award, a student-athlete must maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA. In 2021 because membership in the three conferences spans all divisions in the NCAA and not all institutions competed in winter sports due to the pandemic, the normal requirement of participation in one of three NCAA Regional competitions was waived.
