T?trault, a mathematics major from Lincoln, Neb., earned the selection for the second time in his Nebraska career, as he earned third-team Academic All-America honors last season. He was also named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District team earlier this month.

 

In addition to his CoSIDA academic selections, T?trault was recently named Nebraska’s Male Student-Athlete of the Year for his academic and athletic contributions. He has garnered numerous awards in his four years at Nebraska, including the coveted Jim Hartung award. T?trault is a three-time College Gymnastics Association First-Team All-America Scholar-Athlete and has earned Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Academic All-Conference awards on three occasions. T?trault has also made the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll six times in his career.

 

T?trault, one of the top all-arounders to ever compete for Nebraska, has captured three NCAA All-America honors in his career. In just his freshman season, T?trault placed fifth on vault at the NCAA Championships to earn his first All-America honor. He then captured two more All-America honors during his junior season on both pommel horse and the all-around.

 

T?trault holds a 3.74 grade-point average and is scheduled to complete his mathematics degree in August. He plans to attend medical school upon his graduation.
