The TCNJ women’s cross country and track and field teams have had five student-athletes named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team. This recognition was announced earlier this week by the organization.
Kerri McCarthy, Kelly O’Grady, and Cassidy Quinn are recognized for the second time, while Eliza Bruncaj and Mackenzie Burke received their first selection. The CSC Academic All-District Women’s Track & Field Teams honor top student-athletes for their performances in athletics and academics across four divisions: NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA.
Eliza Bruncaj, an Early Childhood/Special Education major with a 3.58 GPA, achieved her first CSC Academic All-District selection after an impressive year on the track. She earned Second Team All-NJAC honors in the 60-meter hurdles and Honorable Mention in the 400-meter hurdles.
