COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Columbia University archers
Michelle Ahn,
Eunice Choi,
Giselle DeSousa,
Judith Gottlieb,
Lillian Han and
Sydney Sullenberger have all earned the 2025 USA Archery All-American Academic Team Award, as announced by USA Archery last week.
The All-American Academic Team is composed of archers in each division and class and based on the following criteria:
- Archer must be eligible to shoot in the 2025 Spring Semester (Full-Time Collegiate Student).
- Required cumulative GPA of 3.5 through fall term 2024.
USA Archery takes the top 25% (ranked by score) of each division and class from U.S. National Indoor Championships. Archers that are in the top 25% and who meet the minimum GPA will earn a spot on the team. Those named to the team will receive a certificate from USA Archery commemorating their achievements.
Ahn, Choi, Gottlieb and Han were four of 22 female recurve archers nationwide to earn All-American Academic Team honors. DeSousa and Sullenberger were two of 12 female compound archers nationwide.
The
Collegiate Archery Program gives archers a chance to compete nationwide with peers who also maintain a rigorous academic schedule. This esteemed award acknowledges not just excellence in archery, but also the diligence and dedication needed to manage a demanding practice and competition regimen while excelling academically.
The Lions now prepare for the 2025 USA Archery Collegiate Target Nationals, which take place this Thursday-Sunday, May 15-18, in East Lansing, Michigan.
