2015 Women's Academic All-District Teams

Christopher Newport's Enuma Ezenwa and Mary Washington's Claire Harrington were named to the  Capital One Academic All-District Women's Track & Field/Cross Country Team selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America, announced on Friday afternoon. 

These teams are annually release to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. To be eligible for nomination, a student-athlete must carry a minimum 3.30 cumulative grade-point average and be a starter or key reserve on their team. 

Ezenwa has been nothing short of sensational during her senior season. She was named the USTFCCCA South / Southeast Indoor Field Athlete of the Year following an impressive performance over the winter. During the indoor season, she set a new program record in the pentathlon while earning All-American honors after finishing fifth in the combined event during the NCAA Championships. Along with her national honor, she was also an All-Conference selection after finishing second in the high jump and 4x400-relay during the CAC indoor title meet.

During the outdoor season, Ezenwa broke her own program record in the heptathlon with 4,509 points. She was also named the CAC Women's Outdoor Track & Field Co-Athlete of the Year following a dominant performance during the conference championships.

During the league meet, she won both the 100- and 400-hurdles and placed second in the long jump. For those efforts, she was a first-team All-Conference pick. Capping off her career in style, Ezenwa is currently competing at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Canton, New York. She qualified in the heptathlon, 100-hurdles, and 4x400-relay.

The Herndon, Va. native received her degree in cellular, molecular, and physiological biology during CNU's commencement on May 9.

Harrington, who holds UMW school records for indoor and outdoor pole vault, carried a perfect 4.0 in her Biology major, and was named one of three valedictorians for the school this year. She plans on attending medical school in the fall.
