Amy Sullivan Nordmann was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Hall of Fame in 2007.
Amy Sullivan-Nordmann was inducted into the Academic All-America® Hall of Fame due to her tremendous success as a volleyball player at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) and academic excellence as a medical student throughout her career there.
After attending Occidental College as a freshman, Sullivan-Nordmann transferred to WUSTL where she finished her three-year career with three NCAA Division III National Championships in 1991, 1992, and again in 1993. Sullivan-Nordmann led Washington to an astounding overall record of 126-6 (.995) and set NCAA records with 59 consecutive wins and 77 straight victories against Division III opponents. In addition, she ranked third on the WUSTL career charts with 284 service aces and 174 solo blocks, eighth on the charts with a .363 hitting percentage and ninth with 344 total blocks.
At WUSTL she was honored for her hard work by being named a two-time first-team All-American and was twice named the GTE Academic All-America of the Year for Division III. Besides those accolades she earned an NCAA Top Six award in 1993 and the State of Missouri’s NCAA Woman of the Year award in 1994.
Sullivan-Nordmann, who has been described as “simply a coach’s dream” by WUSTL Director of Athletics, John Schael, parlayed her unwavering work ethic off the volleyball courts into the classroom and community service. She helped to operate the largest student-run charity carnival in the nation and volunteered in the St. Louis University Hospital’s emergency room, the Hope Center for Abused Children and a retirement center. She was also chosen as the Division III female recipient of the Woody Hayes National Scholar Athlete Award given by the University Seratoma Club of Columbus, Ohio, for excellence in academics, athletics, and community services.
A state finalist in the competition for a Rhodes Scholarship, Sullivan-Nordmann went on to attend the Washington University School of Medicine and graduated in 1999. Her professional career has included time as an instructor at WUSTL's Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology. She also served as a radiologist specializing in Breast Imaging for Rose Imaging Specialists in Houston.
