GREENWOOD, Ind. - On Wednesday, the 2022-23 Academic All-District® Teams for women's cross country and track were announced by College Sports Communicators. From Cal State East Bay, Ashley Trout and Chase Worthen were named to the team for NCAA Division II. 

To be honored, the student-athlete must have at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA, and participated in at least 50 percent of the team's events during a season. The student-athlete must also be enrolled at the current institution for at least one calendar year prior to the nomination.
