Trenkle named Academic All-American

GREENWOOD, IND. – The Morningside men's tennis program continues to receive accolades for the 2023-24 season, as Mark Trenkle represented the Mustangs among College Sports Communicators' Academic All-America selections.

Trenkle, a junior from Lahr, Germany, was selected Second Team Academic All-America by the CSC's membership. The duo is among 14 athletes to receive Academic All-America honors, selected from a field of 54 Academic All-District honorees.

Trenkle is Morningside's first Academic All-American since College Sports Communicators created an independent ballot for tennis in 2023. The Mustangs had two men's tennis Academic All-Americans under the previous model, when tennis was part of the CSC's at-large program.

The CSC Academic All-American program recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for a combination of success on the court and in the classroom, requiring that nominees maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better and participate in at least 70 percent of total matches that include team scores. 

College Sports Communicators is a group of 3,200+ strategic, creative, and digital communicators across intercollegiate athletics in the United States and Canada.
