Montana State ski standout Riley Seger was named to the 2022 Academic All-America® Men's At-Large Second Team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America on Tuesday.
Seger, a junior from Vancouver, B.C. becomes just the sixth men's at-large Academic All-America® selection in Montana State history, joining Todd Devries (1989/Tennis), Marek Gebicki (2005,' 06/Tennis) and Tyler Reinking (2012, '13/Skiing).
A 4.0 student in business finance, Seger was one of ten student-athletes named in May to the All-District 6 academic squad which covers NCAA Division I schools in Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
On the national ballot, Seger was one of 15 student-athletes named to the Second Team Academic All-America® At-Large squad. At-large sports for men include fencing, ice hockey, golf, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming, tennis, volleyball, water polo and wrestling.
Last winter, Seger was the recipient of the NCAA's 2022 Elite 90 award at the NCAA Skiing Championships for top academic and athletic achievement. He garnered First Team All-America honors after placing third in giant slalom at the NCAA meet in March. During the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association season, Seger posted four top 10 finishes, including winning the GS titles at the Utah Invitational and the RMISA Qualifier. In 2021, Seger earned Second Team All-America accolades in giant slalom at the NCAA Skiing Championships.
Nick Albiero, a swimmer from the University of Louisville, was named the Academic All-America® Team Member of the Year for NCAA Division I At-Large.
Seger's selection marks the 47th occasion a Montana State student-athlete has garnered Academic All-America® status since 1976.
