STANFORD, Calif. – Super senior Christina Aragon heads a group of four Stanford athletes to earn CoSIDA Academic All-American honors for cross country/track and field.
Aragon earned first-team women's honors with Allie Jones selected to the second team. For the men, Charles Hicks and Keyshawn King earned third-team honors.
Aragon, a nine-time All-American and human biology major, capped her collegiate year by placing third in the 1,500 at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. In cross country, she was the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Jones, a two-time All-American and human biology major, won the Pac-12 title in the heptathlon, breaking the school record in the process. She finished fourth at the NCAA Championships and will represent the U.S. in the Thorpe Cup multi-events dual against Germany in Knoxville, Tennessee, at the end of July.
Hicks, a six-time All-American and cognitive science major, repeated as the Pac-12 champion in the 10,000 meters. After winning the Pac-12 cross country title, Hicks was third in the 3,000 at the NCAA Indoor Championships and sixth in the 10,000 outdoors.
