GREENWOOD, Ind. – College Sports Communicators announced its Men's Basketball 2024-25 Academic All-District teams on Tuesday, and among those being recognized for their outstanding achievements are three Caltech Beavers.

Senior James Downs (Huntington Beach, Calif. / Huntington Beach), junior Noah Hicks (Oxford, Ga. / George Walton Academy), and sophomore Andrew Koclanes (Denver, Colo. / Colorado Academy) earned the honor through maintaining a 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale while starting in 66% or playing in 90% of the team's games.

Downs maintained his strong academic status while being a key piece of the season's starting lineup and also achieving a .917 average from the free throw line.

Hicks wrote his name in the Caltech record books this season, finishing as the team's top scorer with 353 points earning 14.1 points per-game, a pace that saw him cross the 1,000 point barrier by the end of the season. His scoring efforts saw him make 39 shots from the arc, leading the team in three-pointers. He shined on defense as well, leading the team in steals with 25.

Koclanes was a staple member in the Beavers' rotation, being one of only four members of the team to play in all 25 games this season. He took advantage of this playing time by sinking the second most three-point shots on the team with 23, just behind Hicks. Defensively, he also came to play recording the third highest number of steals on the season.
