South Dakota State women's golfer
Sydney Bormann was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Division I Women's At-Large third team, announced Friday.
"Sydney has been a cornerstone of our program during her time at SDSU," said assistant coach
Maggie Murphy. "She epitomizes what it means to be a Jackrabbit student-athlete. This award is well deserved and is the culmination of Sydney's hard work and dedication."
Bormann is the first Jackrabbit women's golfer to be an Academic All-America selection. Additionally, she was the first to receive Academic All-District 6 honors earlier this spring.
The senior graduated with a 4.00 grade point average in human biology. Bormann also recently earned her third straight Summit League All-Academic selection. The SDSU Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) president is known for her involvement in the community and extensive research she has done in her time at South Dakota State.
Bormann, a three-time Women's Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar, held a 79.50 stroke average over the 18 rounds she competed in this season. She ranks sixth all-time for State with a career stroke average of 77.78. The senior shot a season-low 70 at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown.
Bormann will be attending medical school in the fall at the University of South Dakota.
Selections to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Division I Women's At-Large Team are based on a vote conducted among members of CoSIDA. 33 of the 46 members of the 2019-2020 CoSIDA Academic All-America® Division I Women's At-Large teams achieved at least a 3.90 GPA, with 20 student-athletes posting a 4.00 GPA (or better) during their undergraduate and/or graduate careers.
