CoSIDA Academic All-Americans

Gustavus Adolphus College has a rich history of athletic accomplishments. Gustie teams have gone on to win over 250 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) championships as a charter member of the league and have enjoyed success on the national stage as well. The triumphs on the playing field are certainly attributed to the physical abilities of the student-athletes, but what sets Gustavus apart from many other institutions is the hard work put in the classroom by its student-athletes.

Gustavus currently has 129 all-time College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-Americans, which ranks 12th in Division III and 34th among all institutions (NCAA I, II, and III combined). The mark of 129 Academic All-Americans also ranks first in the MIAC. Gustavus has the sixth most women’s at-large selections and 21st most Academic All-American selections since 2000.
