LAIDLAW HONORED AS ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT

South Dakota State University women's golfer Cassidy Laidlaw was honored Thursday as a member of the CoSIDA Academic All-District 6 Women's At-Large Team.

A native of Calgary, Alberta, Laidlaw graduated this past spring with a 3.63 grade-point average while majoring in human biology. During the 2020-21 season, she posted a 77.70 stroke average while playing in all 20 rounds for the Jackrabbits. Her top finish was a runner-up effort at the Jackrabbit Invitational with a career-best 54-hole total of 220 (+4).

Laidlaw ranks fifth all-time for SDSU with a 77.65 career stroke average.

The CoSIDA Academic All-District 6 Women's At-Large Team is made up of 10 student-athletes competing in beach volleyball, crew, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey and tennis. All members of the squad will advance to the national ballot for Academic All-America consideration later this month.

The 2020-21 Academic All-District and All-America programs recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The Academic All-District 6 Team is determined by a vote among members of the College Sports Information Directors of America in Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Candidates must be at least a sophomore in athletic and academic standing, a starter or key reserve on her team and carry at least a 3.3 GPA.
