Men’s T&F/XC all-district teams | Women’s T&F/XC all-district teams
SEWARD, Neb. – A top program in the nation athletically, Concordia University track and field also continues to net academic honors. Last week (May 26) Stephanie Coley, CJ Muller and Kim Wood were named Academic All-District™ selections by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). All three Bulldogs were placed on District 3 College Division teams.
The CoSIDA Academic All-District™ Men’s and Women’s Track & Field/Cross Country Teams have been released to recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. For more information about the Academic All-District™ and Academic All-America® Teams program, please visit http://cosida.com.
Coley, a senior from Gering, Neb., is now a two-time academic all-district choice. She earned her degree in English this May. Coley collected All-America awards in three different throwing events at the NAIA outdoor championships for the national championship winning Concordia women. Muller and Wood are each receiving the academic all-district award for the first team. Muller, an Omaha native, is a junior majoring in exercise science. Wood, also a 2016 outdoor All-American, completed her degrees in behavioral science and psychology.
Coley, Muller and Wood are members of a long list of Concordia athletes to receive all-district accolades over the past two seasons. The 2014-15 academic year saw a school record 11 Bulldogs collect such recognition. This year’s all-district honorees also include Amy Ahlers (golf), Chandler Folkerts (men’s basketball), Hallick Lehmann (football), Adam Meirose (football) and Becky Mueller (women’s basketball). Folkerts and Lehman also earned Academic All-America laurels.
The College Division of District 3 includes the states of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin. GPAC athletes made up seven of the 12 District 3 cross country/track choices on the women’s side and six of the 12 on the men’s side.
Concordia’s all-district honorees will now be eligible for Academic All-America accolades. Those award winners will be announced by CoSIDA on June 9.
