Women's Gymnastics Standout Christine Liautaud Earns CoSIDA Academic All-District Women's At-Large Team Honors

Bridgeport, Conn.-University of Bridgeport women's gymnastics standout Christine Liautaud (Jr., Cary, Illinois) has earned a First Team spot on the CoSIDA Academic All-District® Women's At-Large Team.  Student-athletes who compete in fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming, tennis, sand volleyball and water polo may be nominated for the CoSIDA Academic At-Large Team for women.

Liautaud, a business administration major with a 3.88 grade point average, is a 2016 NCAA Qualifier on the uneven bars.  She is the 2016 USAG National Champion and All-America on the bars plus was selected as the 2016 ECAC Division II Specialist of the Year, as she helped Bridgeport win its eighth consecutive ECAC D II Team title.

The 2015-16 CoSIDA Academic All-District® Men's and Women's At-Large Teams, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America, have been released to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.

The Academic All-District® teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the third year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America® Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.

The Division II and III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2015-16 DII and DIII Academic All-America® teams program.

First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected in June.
