EMU: Allentown resident

on triathlon team

The Eastern Mennonite University women’s 2020-2021 triathlon team which includes Allison Shelly of Allentown, has received the Team Scholar All-American award from the Collegiate Triathlon Coaches Association and USA Triathlon.

The Team Scholar All-American award is in recognition of teams who excel in the classroom by achieving a cumulative semester GPA of 3.2 or higher.

The Fall 2020 award was calculated by taking the average GPA for all student-athletes on a team’s roster, regardless of competitions completed during that semester.

In their second season of existence as a program, the Royals have six women on the roster, including two freshmen and four returning EMU students.

All six are in their first year with the Royals’ triathlon team.
