Williams Named CoSIDA Academic All-District

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State senior Sami Williams was named to the 2020 Academic All-District 6 Softball Team, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The Academic All-District teams divide student-athletes into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada.

Williams, who achieved a 3.96 GPA in software engineering, is now a three-time Academic All-District nominee. The native of Laguna Niguel, Calif. is also looking to become the first three-time CoSIDA Academic All-American in program history. On the field, Williams is Iowa State's all-time leader in hits (250), doubles (64) and home runs (46), and was named an Honorable Mention All-American in 2019. She is also the NCAA DI active leader in doubles. Williams announced in April that she would be returning for an additional season of eligibility in 2021, due to the cancellation of the NCAA softball season caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

First and second-team Academic All-America honorees will be announced in June. For more information about CoSIDA's Google Cloud Academic All-District and Academic All-America Teams program, visit AcademicAllAmerica.com or the Academic All-America® homepage on CoSIDA.com.
