LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville's Soledad Jean, Carly Pujol, Synclair Savage, Aliyah Welter, and Zoe Yeast were named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Women's Track & Field Academic All-District team.
To be nominated, a student-athlete must hold at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at his/her current institution.
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 CSC Academic All-America program recognizes track & field honorees in four divisions – NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.
Jean competed in six meets this season in the high jump, earning her second consecutive qualification to the NCAA East Region Preliminary Round in the event. The sophomore cleared a season-best height of 1.81m (5-11.25) to win the Clark Wood Invitational, with the clearance standing as a new meet record and tying her for the tenth-best jump in program history.
Pujol capped her fourth season with the Cardinals by securing her first berth in the NCAA East Region Preliminary Round in the pole vault, her seventh and final meet of the season. The redshirt junior placed seventh at the ACC Outdoor Championships to score two points for the team, clearing a personal-best mark of 4.18m (13-8.5).
