The CSC Academic All-District men’s and women’s track & field/cross country teams recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their performance and dedication in athletics and in the classroom. To qualify, student-athletes must maintain a 3.50 GPA, be at least a sophomore academically and athletically, rank top 50 individually in at least one event in their respective region (cross country, indoor or outdoor track & field) and meet several other requirements. Each track & field and cross country program is only allowed to nominate up to five student-athletes per gender for recognition.
Six of the nine student-athletes named to the Academic All-District Team for the Mustangs captured All-Big West honors at the Big West Track and Field Championships, with Bove and Evans each securing an individual conference title.
