Greenwood, Ind. – Trinity men's basketball junior guard AJ Clark has been selected to the Academic All-District Men's Basketball Team, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
The Academic All-District program recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances both in and out of the classroom. First Team honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot, with the winners being announced in late May.

Clark started all 12 games and led the Tigers with 40 assists (3.3/game) and 73 rebounds (6.1/game) during a season that was shortened due to COVID-19 restrictions. He also averaged 8.8 points/game for Trinity, hitting 34-84 (.405) from the field in his 25.5 minutes/game. All of Clark's per-game averages and shooting averages during the year were the best of his career.
The Business Analytics & Technology major and Communication Management minor has been on Trinity's Dean's List for four semesters and has been named to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Winter Academic Honor Roll each of his first two seasons. Earlier this spring, he was voted to the All-SCAC Third Team and was also the recipient of the SCAC Men's Basketball Elite 19 award.
Trinity is led by Head Coach Jimmy Smith, who completed his first season at the helm of the Tiger program. He led the team to a 10-2 overall record and an appearance in the SCAC Championship game.
