Senior Evan Wetzel of the Clarkson University Alpine Ski team became the latest Golden Knight to earn one of the top honors for student-athletes as he was chosen as a CoSIDA Academic All-District 3 selection when the organization announced its choices on Thursday afternoon.

Wetzel is just the fourth Clarkson Alpine skier to earn the honor, joining Christian Perryman (2013, 2014), JP Phaneuf (2012), and Erik Torniainen (1989, 1990, 1991).

Clarkson All-Time CoSIDA Academic All-District/All-American List

At-Large selections are for sports that do not have their own Academic All-District teams, including (for men's sports) lacrosse, rifle, skiing, fencing, swimming, tennis, golf, volleyball, gymnastics, water polo, hockey, and wrestling.

Wetzel had a flawless 4.00 grade-point average as an undergraduate through his first seven semesters at Clarkson while majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Wetzel finished 11th among 128 skiers in the giant slalom at the USCSA National Championships and had a pair of top-six finishes at the USCSA Regionals.

Wetzel, the only skier selected in any of the eight districts nationwide, will now advance to the national ballot which will be voted upon in the coming weeks.
