NAPERVILLE — Seventeen men’s tennis student-athletes from the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) were selected to the 2025-26 Academic All-District® teams, announced by College Sports Communicators on Tuesday.
The Academic All-District® program recognizes student-athletes for their work in competition and in the classroom. The program includes honorees from NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA, with the CCIW’s selections coming from the Division III membership.
Four CCIW student-athletes were named CSC Academic All-America® finalists and will move forward to the national ballot.
