AUSTIN, TEXAS – Senior Ana Witkowski has been named to the Google Cloud College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America Women's At-Large team as a first-team selection. The list of at-large winners was announced by the association Wednesday.

Seniors Charles Maitland and Thomas Conroy were selected to the second and third teams, respectively on the Men's At-Large Academic All-America teams.

The At-Large teams are a collective from sports that do not have their own specific award from CoSIDA, and include double-digit athletic offerings, making it an even more difficult threshold to reach.

This marks the 11th consecutive year that at least one Clarkson University student-athlete has gained CoSIDA Academic All-American honors.

An all-star Nordic skier, Witkowski, who also posted a 3.99 cumulative grade-point average in Biomolecular Science, saved her best for last in 2019. After finishing second or third during most races in the regular season, she excelled in the USCSA Nationals, winning the 7.5K Classic, Freestyle Sprint, and the 15K Freestyle while also helping the Clarkson Women's Team Relay to a first place finish at the nationals, placing her easily in first among the 38 skiers overall. Wikowski was also a standout for the Clarkson crosss country team in the fall.

Maitland, who had a 3.99 cumulative grade-point average in Engineering & Management, was a consistent title contender at the USCSA Nationals for the Nordic Ski squad.
