Davies, of Wasilla, Alaska, helped the Rainbow Wahine win back-to-back Big West Tournament titles, and is an academic all-conference honoree.
Glagau, of Mississauga, Canada, is a two-time All-American, two-time recipient of the Big West Pair of the Year and three-time all-Big West first-team selection. She has a 3.77 cumulative grade point average.
Chakas, of Nea Smyrni, Greece, is a two-time second-team All-American and helped the Rainbow Warriors win two national championships. He was selected to all-conference academic teams and honor rolls.
The Jack Bonham Award is named for the assistant athletics director who was killed in 1974 in a plane crash in American Samoa.
UH swimmer an academic All-American
Hawaii fifth-year athlete Justin Lisoway was named to the Men's Swimming and Diving Division I Academic All-America third team on Wednesday, becoming the program's first honoree in 20 years.
Lisoway, of De Winton, Alberta, Canada, posted a cumulative 4.00 grade-point average while majoring in computer science. He was among 30 student-athletes honored by the College Sports Communicators.
Lisoway is the first member of the UH men's swimming and diving team to earn Academic All-America recognition since Kurt Boehm made the Men's At-Large third team in 2004.
Lisoway is also a four-time winner of the Jenny Matsuda Award, the UH athletics department's highest academic honor.
Lisoway won the 100 breaststroke title and swam on two record-breaking relay teams at the MPSF Swimming and Diving Championships in February.
