Corban Men’s and Women’s Cross Country/Track & Field Programs Earn Nine CSC Academic All-District Honors

GREENWOOD, Ind. – The College Sports Communicators (CSC) organization announced the 2026 Academic All-District teams for men's and women's cross country/track & field programs across the country earlier this morning, where Corban University was represented by nine student-athletes who earned both the dual academic and athletic honor from their efforts during the 2025-26 school year.

The CSC Academic All-America program is nominated and voted on by members of the CSC, which are the Sports Information Directors/Director of Athletic Communications from every NAIA institution. Each school's nominees must have met the following criteria to be eligible for the awards: at least sophomore standing both athletically and academically and have maintained at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA through their most recently completed semester. For men's and women's track & field specifically, NAIA student-athletes must have placed within the top 25 of their conference championship meet for a single event, whether that be in cross country, indoor track & field, or outdoor track & field.

"This is a well-deserved acknowledgement for a great group of student-athletes," began Warriors' head coach Todd Bos when asked to comment on his most recent group of Academic All-District award winners. "They represent our programs well in the classroom and on the field of competition. Congratulations to each of them and thanks be to God for their exceptional gifts and for leading them to Corban."

The 2025-26 school year provided nine brand new recipients of the Academic All-District award for the Corban men's and women's cross country/track & field programs, as every Navy and Gold selection this season is a first-time honoree by the CSC. The women's programs delivered the most selections, with five Warriors claiming the honor while four men took home accolades this year. The Corban recipients for 2025-26 include sophomore Aaden Ackley, senior Caleb Jannsen, junior Shaelee Killorn, junior Shannel Killorn, senior Kirsten Kuenzi, sophomore Emalie Lindberg, graduate student Zander Moha, senior Josie Rothman, and graduate student Anthony Salisbury.

A selection committee consisting of members from the NAIA athletic communication departments across the country will now determine which of the All-District recipients will receive Academic All-American honors. Nominees will all be grouped together for selection in male and female pools with both athletic and academic success taken into consideration.
