CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard senior forward Kale Catchings has been named to the 2021-22 Academic All-Ivy League Team, the conference announced on Tuesday. The honor is the first of Catchings' career.
 
A native of O'Fallon, Missouri, Catchings was selected to the Ivy academic squad nearly a month after earning CoSIDA Academic All-District I accolades along with junior Chris Ledlum.
 
To be eligible for Academic All-Ivy honors, a student-athlete must be in good academic standing, be a starter or key reserve, and not be a first-year.
 
An economics concentrator, Catchings enjoyed his best season of his career in 2021-22, averaging a career-high 9.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals, while shooting 49.7 percent from the floor and 36.5 percent from three-point distance.
 
Serving as team co-captain with Mason Forbes, Catchings scored in double figures 12 times and finished his career by reaching the plateau in the final four games of the season. The senior turned in his best game at Princeton when he finished with a career-high 19 points in 34 minutes.
 
Catchings was joined on the Academic All-Ivy Team by Brown's Jaylan Gainey, Columbia's Cameron Shockley-Okeke, Cornell's Sarju Patel, Dartmouth's Aaryn Rai, Penn's Michael Moshkovitz, Princeton's Drew Friberg and Yale's EJ Jarvis.
