Rachael Aird Named CoSIDA Academic All-District 3 Selection

Junior middle hitter Rachael Aird of the Clarkson University Volleyball team became the latest in a recent string of Golden Knights to earn CoSIDA Academic All-District 3 honors when the awards were announced on Thursday afternoon.

Aird, one of seven student-athletes to earn the District 3 honor, is the seventh Clarkson Volleyball player to earn the honor since 2003 and it is the sixth time a Golden Knight has collected the award since 2011. Aird joins former teammate Victoria Kirkemo (2014), three-time selection Erika Chin (2011-13), Sara Artus (2011), Hilary Lockwood (2008), two-time selection Suzanne Clarvoe (2004-05) and Heather Sill (2003) on the roll call of CoSIDA Academic All-District winners.

Biology major with a 3.646 grade-point average through four semesters, Aird earned Liberty League Second-Team All-Star honors as a sophomore and has been chosen as the Liberty League Performer of the Week or to the conference's honor roll in all but one week during the 2016 season. She ranks in the top five in the conference in kills (3.52 kps), blocks (0.71 bps) and hitting percentage (.287) and leads the league in solo blocks with 36. Aird will now move on to the national ballot with voting to take place in the next few weeks.
