BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh men's track and field and cross country senior Ryan Knouse has been named to the 2013-14 Capital One Academic All-District II Team for his outstanding athletic and academic achievements, as announced by CoSIDA Thursday.
The 2014 Academic All-District Men's and Women's Track and Field Teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. The teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. District II includes schools from Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia and the District of Columbia in addition to Pennsylvania.

He was selected to the Academic All-Patriot League team for the first time in his career following the outdoor season and has made Dean's List (>3.6 GPA) every semester of his Lehigh career, while also landing on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll every year.
