Zach Schuster Named to CoSIDA Academic All-District Team
Senior golfer adds another academic accolade to his resume.
AUSTIN, Texas - University of Tampa men's golfer Zach Schuster was recognized as the 2016 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District™ Men's At-Large Teams have been released. This award recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.
Schuster, a senior from Norton, Mass., is now a two-time recipient of the award. He has also been named to both the Sunshine State Conference Honor Roll and D2 ADA Academic Achievement list twice.
The finance major has also been a top performer on the links for the Spartans. The four-year letterwinner averaged a 77.33 in 30 rounds as a senior. He also finished his UT career with one top-five finish and three top-10 efforts.
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 fifth 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 2015-16 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.
