The 2022-23 Academic All-District Track & Field Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.

The sophomore also tied for seventh in the event at the ACC Outdoor Championships to secure a point for the Cardinals.
Meyer competed in five meets this season, recording personal-best times in the 800m, 3000m, and the 5000m. The redshirt junior also competed in the 10000m at the ACC Outdoor Championships, marking his first career appearance in the event.
