BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana softball student-athletes Grayson Radcliffe and Gabbi Jenkins were named to the 2020-21 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District Softball team on Thursday.
This award recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performance on the field and in the classroom. To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at his/her current institution. Nominated athletes must have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's games at the position listed on the nomination form (where applicable).
Radcliffe has a 3.90 GPA and graduated with a degree in Sports Marketing and Management. Radcliffe has one year of eligibility remaining and will return to the Hoosiers for the upcoming season.
Jenkins graduated with a 3.84 undergrad GPA with a degree in Elementary Education and has posted a 4.0 GPA in her Educational Leadership graduate program.
Both Jenkins and Radcliffe have earned multiple Academic All-Big Ten and Big Ten Distinguished Scholar honors. They have also excelled on the field of play.
Jenkins finished her Hoosier career in dramatic fashion. The senior hit .331 for the season and stole 24 bases, in the process setting the Hoosiers all-time record for career stolen bases with 96. Jenkins led the conference with 18 doubles on the season to set a new Indiana program record for single season doubles. Jenkins hit her first career home run in walk off fashion to beat Penn State and added two more home runs on the season. Jenkins earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors following the Hoosiers series with Ohio State in which she hit .714 with 10 hits. Jenkins was selected to the All-Big Ten Second Team and All-Defensive Team.
Radcliffe was one of the Hoosiers most consistent hitters all season long. Radcliffe hit .315 on the season with 39 hits and led the team with 25 RBI. Radcliffe tallied 14 extra base hits, including five home runs. Radcliffe had a .411 on base percentage and was a perfect 16-for-16 in stolen bases. Over the last six series of the season in which the Hoosiers posted a record of 17-7, Radcliffe hit .362 with 25 hits and 18 RBI. Radcliffe was selected to the All-Big Ten Second Team.
As an All-District Honoree, Radcliffe and Jenkins will advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot. Academic All-America honorees will be announced in late July.
