GREENWOOD, Ind. - On Tuesday, June 24, the College Sports Communicators (CSC) released their 2024-25 NAIA Academic All-District Team Selections for Track and Field and Cross Country. The Marian University men's and women's programs each earned the maximum five selections to the 2024-25 teams.
Eligible nominees for the CSC Academic All-America program must maintain a 3.50 cumulative grade-point average while having reached sophomore status academically, and must rank in the top-25 in their conference or region, based on TFRRS rankings at the time of nomination. The event can be a singular event, either indoor or outdoor, and must be based on an individual event.
Each institution is allowed up to five nominations per gender for cross country and track, with selected CSC Academic All-District recipients advancing to the ballot for CSC Academic All-America honors. Those awards will be voted on by members of CSC from around the nation and will be announced on July 15 and 16.
