WAUKESHA, Wis. — The College Sports Communicators (CSC) announced its annual Academic All-District® Team, with Carroll University track & field earning seven honorees in recognition of their excellence both on the track and in the classroom.

Representing the Pioneers were sophomores Clare Whitney (Milwaukee, Wis.), Rianna Schultz (New London, Wis.), Tirzah Losos (Elkhorn, Wis.), and Hana Smith (Franklin, Wis.), along with juniors Grace Pequignot (Huntsville, Ohio), Katelyn Duber (Harvard, Ill.), and Ethan Zilisch (Amherst, Wis.). All seven met CSC criteria with top-50 rankings in the NCAA North Region while maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher.

Losos secured her selection with regional marks in both hurdle events, ranking 39th in the 100-meter hurdles (15.63) and 36th in the 400-meter hurdles (1:07.63). Whitney added to the Pioneers' field event success with a 33rd-place regional ranking in the high jump at 1.55 meters.

On the men's side, Zilisch earned his honor after posting a 49th-place regional mark in the long jump at 6.60 meters.
