Greening Earns National Academics Recognition

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell junior Colin Greening has been named an ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District I At-Large First Team selection, the organization announced on Thursday. Greening now advances to the national ballot to be considered for Academic All-America honors.

Greening, who finished second on the team in 2008-09 with 15 goals and 16 assists for 31 points, earns his second Academic All-District honor after being named a second-team selection a year ago. He is a three-time Academic All-ECAC Hockey honoree and was a second-team All-ECAC Hockey selection after guiding the Big Red to a second-place finish in ECAC Hockey. He was also the only unanimous All-Ivy League First Team selection.

Greening has a 3.95 grade point average in applied economics and management. His selection to the ultra-competitive at-large program includes student-athletes in multiple sports, including tennis, swimming and diving, wrestling, lacrosse, crew and golf.
