The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) announced the student-athletes who earned NSIC All-Academic honors for the 2020 spring athletic season.
Former Canyon del Oro football and Track and Field standout Zachary Bohnenkamp (Northern State) earned a GPA higher than 3.60 for the Track and Field season, giving him the NSIC All-Academic Team of Excellence honor. Former Sabino baseball standout Dominick Parkhurst (Minot State) was also honored.
This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know.
Portions from news release.
We have recognized 41 athletes so far this year. We recognized 195 athletes in 2019.
