Wheaton Athletics produced eight CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2021-22, tying the department's all-time high. Thunder football produced four Academic All-Americans this year: Luke Anthony, Giovanni Weeks, Ryan Schwartz, and Caleb Egbert. Nyameye Adom of the Wheaton men's basketball team earned his program's ninth Academic All-America award. Three members of the Wheaton men's track & field team picked up the recognition: David Bradley, Andrew Lauber and Kevin Riley. This year's eight honorees marked the 23rd-consecutive season that Wheaton has produced at least one selection to the prestigious program. Here is a look at Wheaton's 86 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in that 23-year streak.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Currently, CoSIDA sponsors Academic All-America® programs for men's soccer, women's soccer, football, volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball, softball and men's and women's track and field/cross country. Many other sports are eligible through the at-large program. In 1999-2000 women's track & field and women's soccer were part of the at-large program. From 2011-12 until 2017-18, the program was comprised of four divisional teams including NCAA DI, DII, DII and a college division that included NAIA, Canadian and two-year student-athletes. Prior to that, there were two divisions — University Division (NCAA D1) and a College Division (all others). Currently the Academic All-America® program is comprised of divisional teams for NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA and a separate at-large program for two-year schools and Canadian institutions.
