CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia seniors Chris Rodesch and Jeffrey von der Schulenburg and grad student James Hopper have been named to the 2024 Academic All-District Men’s Tennis Team as selected by College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA), the organization announced Tuesday (May 14). The award recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom.

This is the second time Rodesch and von der Schulenburg have been named All-District for tennis. Hopper was All-District at NCAA III Case Western Reserve last year.
