Bronga repeats academic all-district award

ANCHORAGE – Alaska Anchorage senior All-American skier Jaime Bronga was named Friday to the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District women's 'at-large' team.

A first-team all-district recipient for the second straight year, Bronga earned the honor with her 3.99 overall GPA in civil engineering. The East Anchorage High School product was the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association women's Nordic MVP in 2012 and skied to her fourth career All-America finish at NCAAs.

Part of the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America program, the 'at-large' teams consists of student-athletes in sports other than soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, football, cross country or track & field.

As an all-district selection, Bronga now advances to the national ballot for a chance to repeat her 2010-11 Academic All-America status.
