Juniors Katie Brand and Kersten Kober became the first Kansas State volleyball student-athletes to earn Academic All-District honors since 2010 this week, as the two were both voted to the District 7 First Team, College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced.
Brand and Kober, who were the only Big 12 volleyball student-athletes named academic all-district, were recognized for being two of the nation’s top student-athletes for combined performances athletically and in the classroom.
As part of being named First-Team Academic All-District, Brand and Kober advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
