AUSTIN, Texas—South Dakota junior Zack Anderson was voted to the Google Cloud Academic All-America Division I Men's Track & Field third team selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
 
Anderson's junior campaign included qualifying for both NCAA Championships and sweeping the Summit League Championships in the high jump. He broke the indoor and outdoor Summit League meet records, jumping a personal best of 7 feet, 4 ¼ inches, at the outdoor championship. Anderson found consistency in the high jump this year with 16 leaps above 7 feet. He also surpassed 7-2 ½ (2.20m) six times in 2019.
 
A native of Parker, South Dakota, Anderson is a two-time second-team All-American in the high jump. He carries a 3.65 grade-point average as a physical education major.
 
"I am incredibly proud of how hard Zack has worked both in the classroom and in competition," said USD director of track and field Lucky Huber. "He has been a great example of a student-athlete who has been motivated to be a better student because of his involvement in athletics."
 
Anderson becomes the first men's track and field member to be named an Academic All-American since 2015. Across all sports, South Dakota boasts 48 Academic All-Americans who have combined to earn 60 Academic All-America honors.
