GREENWOOD, Ind. – Four members of the Saint Mary's women's track and field program were tabbed with College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honors this post season for their dedication during competition and in the classroom.

Nominees must be a sophomore or older with a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher and are eligible based on TFRRS regional performance rankings at the time of nomination and only individual ranked performances are to be used for eligibility. 

Samantha Munson, Xara Gin, Mya Slavin, and Ameryn Dostal each are receiving their first Academic All-District nod for track and field.

Munson had a standout senior season on the track. The Plain City, Utah native recently set the school record holder in the 200 meter and was a part of the record breaking 4x100 meter relay race as well. She got it done both indoor and outdoor season. 

The Biology and Pre-PA major was ranked 8th regionally in the 60-meter sprint and 44th nationally with her 25.04 best time indoors. She notably was the 200-meter conference champion that season for her first individual title. During the outdoor season, Munson was an All-Conference and All-Region IX honoree as she claimed back-to-back 200-meter titles ranking 24th regionally in the 100-meter and 17th regionally in the 200-meter. 

Recently, the St. Charles distance runner, Slavin, competed at Outdoor nationals for the program's first time since the 2021 season where she took home 12th for a Second Team All-American honor. She broke a total of six school records throughout her sophomore year in cross country and track and field.

During the cross country season, Slavin shattered both personal and program records, clocking 21:51 to finish 4th overall out of 169 runners in the conference race, the highest individual finish in Saint Mary's women's cross country history in the 6k. She claimed her first individual title indoor as the mile champion. She was a beast during outdoors as a 800-meter champion, an All-Region IX honoree, and a national qualifier.

Sophomore pole vaulter from Naperville, Ill. is receiving her first CSC honor with a perfect 4.00 GPA this spring majoring in Biology and Pre-PA. Gin was ranked 24th regionally with her 3.43m vault for All-Conference honors and earned honorable mention during the outdoor season. 

A season in which she was ranked 21st regionally with a 3.53m leap.

Rounding out the selections is sophomore jumper from Dodge Center, Minn, Dostal. The Marketing major had a standout season ranked 32nd regionally in the triple jump with a 10.68 mark and was 47th during the outdoor season with a 10.58m jump to lead the Cardinals jumps squad. 

These Cardinals each had their best seasons yet and have so much left in store.
