Abrahamsson, Forejtek Named Academic All-Americans

BOULDER—Sophomore Hanna Abrahamsson and graduate student Filip Forejtek were named Academic All-Americans Thursday by the College Sports Communicators. Abrahamsson was named to the second team and Forejtek to the third in the At-Large classification, which includes a dozen sports.

It marks the first time that CU has placed multiple All-Americans on any team in the same season. They are the eighth and ninth skiers to earn an Academic All-America honor and it's the third straight season a CU skier has earned such an honor joining Joey Young in both 2021 and '22.

The duo were two of 10 Buffs honored on the Academic All-District team, which included eight skiers, , one women's golfer and a lacrosse player. Those 10 were automatically put on the ballot for All- America status.

Abrahamsson is a sophomore studying environmental engineering and finished the 2023 season as a two-time first-team All-American at the NCAA championships, finishing in the top five in both the classic and freestyle races. On the season she didn't finish lower than seventh in any race with nine top five finishes, seven podiums and one race win.

Forejtek is a graduate student earning a master's in data science at CU. He successfully defended his individual national championship in the giant slalom on 2023 and in all, had five top five with four podiums and two race wins. One of only a few to repeat as GS individual champion, he is a six-time All-American and two-time RMISA MVP.

The two are joined by Civanna Kuhlmann, who was named third-team Academic All-American in the fall for women's soccer, and those three bring CU's total number of Academic All-America honors to 73.
