COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The College Triathlon Coaches Association (CTCA) has announced their team and individual academic awards for the 2023 season, with Trine University featured on both lists.

The Thunder were recognized as a group earning Scholar All-American Team status. The recognition is awarded to those teams that recorded a GPA of 3.2 or greater during the 2024 competition season. Five individual student-athletes were also recognized by the CTCA, three as Scholar All-Americans and two more in the honorable mention category.

CTCA Scholar All-Americans are selected for their excellence both in the classroom and on the course with individuals required to achieve a 3.5 GPA or higher while also finishing top-20 at their respective national championship. Junior Summer South was joined by sophomores Mia Griesmeyer and Grace Huisman in taking home the recognition.

Junior Paige Aselage and freshman Carmen Blaine each earned Scholar All-American Honorable Mention, achieving the same GPA requirement as their teammates, but finishing outside the top-20 in Clermont, Florida this fall.

The Thunder finished as runners-up at the national championship, marking the fourth consecutive season that the team has finished in the top-two at the national event.
