COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Davis & Elkins women's triathlon had four student-athletes earn recognition as Scholar All-Americans from the College Triathlon Coaches Association (CTCA), the organization announced earlier this month.
Natalia Hidalgo Martinez,
Mia Pelletier,
Zoe van Dijk and
Eleonora Pierre are being awarded the Individual Scholar All-American honors by the CTCA and USA Triathlon, presented to student-athletes who have achieved a GPA of 3.5 or higher for the spring 2021 semester (regardless of competitions completed in that timeframe).
The Individual Scholar All-American award recognizes student athletes in each of the three NCAA divisions who excel in the classroom. The NCAA named triathlon an emerging sport for women in 2014, a designation that gives the sport a 10-year window to demonstrate sustainability at the NCAA level. Cuurently, 37 colleges and universities across the country sponsor the sport at the varsity level.
