BLOOMSBURG, Pa. - Senior Becca Cubbler (Royersford, Pa./Spring-Ford) of the Bloomsburg University women's swimming team has been named to the 2019-20 Academic All-District® At-Large First Team as announced, and selected, by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). It marks the second consecutive season that Cubbler has earned the accolade.

Cubbler wrapped up a sensational four-year career with the Huskies by earning three All-American honors at the 2020 NCAA Division II National Championships. The senior placed tenth in the 1000-yard freestyle with a time of 10:02.63 in the only event she was able to compete in at the championships. However, based on adjusted criteria announced recently, Cubbler earned two more All-American nods in the events she was also invited to participate in, finishing 11th in the 500-yard freestyle (4:53.82) and 16th in the 1650-yard freestyle (17:00.21). Before the NCAAs, Cubbler won her first career individual title at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) championships after finishing first in the 200-yard freestyle (1:51.14)

Also, at this year's conference championships, Cubbler was a six-time All-PSAC honoree after winning the 200-yard freestyle and finishing second in the 500-yard freestyle, 1000-yard freestyle, and 1650-yard freestyle. She also was a part of the 800-yard freestyle relay and 400-yard medley relay teams that finished third at the conference meet.

Cubbler graduates as one of the top swimmers in program history. She wraps up her brilliant career as a six-time All-American, an 18-time All-PSAC honoree, a two-time PSAC Champion, and competed at the NCAA Division II National Championships in each of her four seasons. She also owns six school records - the 200-yard freestyle, the 500-yard freestyle, the 1000-yard freestyle, the 400-yard medley relay, the 400-yard freestyle relay, and the 800-yard freestyle relay.

Out of the pool, Cubbler is a three-time D2 ADA Scholar-Athlete, a three-time PSAC Scholar-Athlete, a three-time NCAA Academic All-American, and earned CoSIDA At-Large Academic All-America® First Team honors last season. She has also been named to the PSAC Winter Top Ten list in each of her last two seasons.

Cubbler, who majors in early childhood education and special education, currently has a 3.90 cumulative GPA.
