GOSHEN, Ind. - The 2025-26 Academic All-District® cross country/track and field teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, was announced on Tuesday, and Goshen had four student-athletes make the team. Jacob Friesen, Caoimhe Farrell, Leyna Borgmann and Bailee Brown earned the recognition.

The awards recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in their sports and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes cross country/track and field honorees in four divisions - NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

From the Crossroads League, there were 31 male and 31 female student-athletes that made the team.

The Academic All-America® award is the longest-running and most prestigious academic and athletic award for student-athletes, being given out yearly since 1952. The Academic All-District® award is given to student-athletes with at least a 3.50 cumulative grade-point average that are sophomores athletically and academically. Individuals must have been nominated by their Sports Information Department and meet specific performance minimums for their sport. For track and field, the nominee must place in the top 25 in their conference for a single event (relay events can bolster the nomination but the basic criteria to be met is for individual performances). In cross country they must place in the top 25 in the league championship.
