Seniors Jarrod Mattingly (Philadelphia, NY) and David Wixted (Ballston Lake, NY) as well as junior John Coleman (Potsdam, NY) of the Clarkson University Baseball team were all honored for their work on the field and in the classrom as each gained Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District (District 3) honors this week.
The trio will advance to the national ballot and that team will be announced in late-May.
Mattingly, a first-time CoSIDA Academic winner, boasts a cumulative grade-point average of 3.96 in biomolecular science. The four-year member of the Golden Knights has logged 44 innings and tossed three complete games with a record of 4-2 overall and a 3.07 earned run average. He pitched the team's lone shutout of the year, a seven-inning gem against Bard College two weeks ago. In addition to his time on the mound, Mattingly is hitting .296 in 27 at bats as an infielder.
Wixted, now a two-time CoSIDA Academic winner, has produced a 3.64 cumulative GPA in supply chain management. Wixted is the offensive leader for the Knights in numerous categories, including batting average (.296), slugging percentage (.449), runs scored (23), hits (29), total bases (44), walks (12), extra-base hits (11), and stolen bases (12). He ranks second all-time in steals at Clarkson (50), seventh in runs (105) and seventh in hits (153).Â
Coleman is no stranger to the CoSIDA awards, as he has been named a national-team winner twice in basketball and this is his second award for baseball, thanks a cumulative GPA of 3.98 in mathematics. Coleman is hitting .289 and ranks second on the squad in runs (18), hits (28), runs batted in (13), and stolen bases (10). More impressively, he has committed only four errors all season long as the team's starting shortstop with a fielding percentage of .967.
