Four Omaha Volleyball players earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors earlier this week: Jaiden Centeno, Sami Clarkson, Rachel Fairbanks, and McKenna Ruch.
The 2022 Academic All-District® Volleyball Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes volleyball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA — for each gender.
