  • Swimming and diving junior Jenny Cheetham was named to the All-America Team for the 2019-20 season by the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America. She is the first All-American Lumberjack for diving and only the second All-American athlete in Northern Arizona University’s program history. Cheetham received four Athlete of the Week awards from the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), earned a gold medal on the 1-meter boards at WAC Championships and helped snag the team’s seventh straight conference title before qualifying for NCAA Championships.
  • The Northern Arizona University basketball and indoor track and field teams—both men’s and women’s—earned 47 Big Sky Winter All-Academic awards, placing 11 more athletes than last year. To qualify, Lumberjacks participated in at least half of the team’s competitions  (or indoor conference championships for track and field), achieved a 3.2 cumulative grade point average at the conclusion of the most recently completed term and completed at least one academic term at their current Big Sky institution. Of the 47 awardees, 28 hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher. With the previous recognition of 40 student-athletes last season, NAU Athletics totals 87 honorees for the 2019-20 academic year.
