Annika Haynes headline the 2018 Google Cloud Academic All-America® Division II Men’s and Women’s At-Large teams as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Kistler and Haynes are the Google Cloud Academic All-America® of the Year for their respective teams.
The Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II national governance structure to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2017-18 Division II Academic All-America® teams program.
The at-large program for the CoSIDA Academic All-America® program includes the sports of fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo for both men and women; bowling, crew and field hockey for women; and volleyball and wrestling for men.

A criminal justice major from Riverside, California, Kistler has a 3.99 GPA. He graduated summa cum laude from California Baptist this spring.

Scharf Paragon Award winner as the league’s female athlete of the year, Haynes has a 4.00 GPA with her finance major. She joins Kistler as a 2018 NCAA Elite 90 Award winner for her sport.
In addition to her sterling 4.00 undergraduate GPA, Haynes has a 4.00 GPA in the University of Indianapolis MBA program. On the links, Haynes compiled a career-best 74.5 stroke average this season.
