Owls collect team, individual academic awards

GAMBIER, Ohio – The 2022-23 Kenyon College women's track and field program earned the distinction of being named an All-Academic Team by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). The honor was the third straight, and 14th overall, for the Owls program.

To be eligible for the USTFCCCA academic award, a program had to produce a minimum team cumulative grade point average of 3.10. The Owls surpassed that mark easily, posting a combined mark of 3.59.

In addition to that honor, the 2022-23 Kenyon team had Paula Soric, a sophomore and a neuroscience and psychology double major, named a USTFCCCA All-Academic Athlete for the second straight season.

To gain the individual honor, a student-athlete had to compile a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.30 and had to compete in an NCAA Indoor or Outdoor Championship and/or had to finish the regular season ranked in the national top-50 in an individual event or ranked in the national top-35 in a relay event.

Soric excelled in the triple jump. Her best effort during the outdoor season measured 38-7½ (11.77 meters). That mark ranked second in the NCAA Great Lakes Region, 30th among all NCAA Division III student-athletes, and was a new Kenyon record. During the indoor schedule, Soric's best leap measured 38-6¾ (11.75 meters). That distance was second best in the Great Lakes Region, 21st in all of NCAA Division III, and good for another Kenyon record.
