Academic All-District recognizes student-athletes for their performance both on the field and in the classroom as honorees must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and be a key starter/reserve for their respective team.
Carroll, a psychology graduate, became a three-time Academic All-District selection as both a member of the cross country and track & field and is the second repeat selection from a year ago. She competed primarily in the 400 and 800 meters and ran as a member of the 4x400 relay teams. Carroll for the third straight year was named to the Centennial Academic Honor Roll in both the winter and spring seasons.
A biology major, Ryan put together a breakout track & field season in both the indoor and outdoor seasons. She became the first Ursinus Women's Track & Field Athlete to be named the Centennial outdoor most outstanding track athlete of the Championship meet since Christa Johnson in 2009 behind winning her first career individual gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles. Ryan earned an All-Region nod in that same event and earned a bronze medal in the 200 meter dash at the Centennial Outdoor Championships.
Bauroth-Sherman, a physics major, earned her first selection to the Academic All-District team. Bauroth-Sherman saw time primarily in the pole vault and the 60/100 meter hurdles between the indoor and outdoor seasons. Bauroth-Sherman garnered her first career All-Region nod during the indoor season in the pole vault behind her mark of 3.05 meters.
Sideris, a computer science and applied economics major, was the third repeat selection and is a member of both the cross country and track & field teams. Sideris helped represent the Bears in distance races this season as she finished sixth in the 10,000 meters for Ursinus at the Centennial Conference Outdoor Championships. She led the Bears at the Centennial Conference Cross Country Championships in the fall and earned All-Metro Region honors in Cross Country following a 20th place finish at the Regional Championship race.
A biology and Spanish major, Wechsler garnered her first career selection after taking the next step following a breakout collegiate debut season. Wechsler won her first career gold medal in the triple jump at the Centennial Conference Championships and earned All-Region honors in both the indoor and outdoor seasons for the long and triple jump.
