Staten Island, NY – The College Triathlon Coaches Association (CTCA) in conjunction with USA Triathlon has awarded the Wagner Women's Triathlon program with the 2020 Team Scholar All-American honor.

The Seahawks earn the award after posting a 2020 fall semester team grade point average (GPA) of 3.68.

The Team Scholar All American award is in recognition of teams who excel in the classroom by achieving a cumulative semester GPA of 3.2 or higher in each of the three NCAA divisions. The Fall 2020 award was calculated by taking the average GPA for all student athletes on a team's roster, regardless of competitions completed.
 
The NCAA named triathlon an Emerging Sport for Women in 2014, a designation that gives the sport a 10-year window to demonstrate sustainability at the NCAA level.  Thirty-six colleges and universities across the country currently sponsor the sport at the varsity level.
