Emma Schulz (Sr. | Poughquag, N.Y. | Arlington) completed her collegiate career as the Red Dragons’ first-ever three-time Academic All-American. A biology major with a minor in chemistry, Schulz graduated this past spring with a 4.02 cumulative grade point average (converted to 3.98 on a 4.0 scale). Schulz was the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA) floor exercise national champion and balance beam national runner-up in 2019. In 2020, she was chosen as the NCGA and the Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) East Region Gymnast of the Year and was named an All-American by both organizations. She was ranked first nationally on both floor and beam before the regional and national postseason tournaments were canceled due to COVID-19. Schulz holds a share of Cortland's school records on both floor (9.90, accomplished twice) and beam (9.825). In the community, Schulz has worked with the New York State Department of Health as a contact tracer, in addition to working at Cortland's on-campus testing site and at Guthrie Hospital in patient care for COVID-19 patients. Like Mullins, Schulz also plans to continue her education in medical school.
