Ashcraft, Bruno Named CSC Academic All-District

CHICAGO – Roosevelt women's track and field runners Destiny Ashcraft and Beatrice Bruno were both named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team, the organization announced Tuesday.

It is the latest honor in a storied academic career for Bruno, who was also named an NAIA Scholar Athlete four times during her career and is a four-time CCAC All-Academic team member. Meanwhile, it is the second academic honor for Ashcraft, who was also named a CCAC All-Academic team member this spring.

Bruno qualified for Academic All-District status by posting a top-25 mark in two different events at the CCAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships. She finished 13th in both the long jump with a leap of 4.22 meters as well as the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:04.57. Ashcraft set her first standard on April 26 by finishing the 1,500 meters in 5:17.69 then added a second top-25 time in the 800 with a time of 2:29.70 at the conference championships. Both runners also notched top-25 times as part of the 4x800-meter relay team that finished fourth at the conference championships.

The Academic All-America program is the longest running and premier award for athletic and academic success across championship college sports in all three NCAA divisions, the NAIA, two-year colleges and Canadian institutions. It was established in 1952 and the honorees are nominated by CSC members then All-American honors are voted on by the membership as well.

In order to be named to the Academic All-District teams, a student-athlete must not only hold at least a 3.5 grade point average, but also must have posted a top-25 mark within its conference in any individual event. The list of all-district honorees is then vetted by the CSC committee, who send out a ballot for All-American honors to the membership.
