STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford cross country earned its final off-the-course acknowledgment for the fall 2025 season with four harriers garnering USTFCCCA All-Academic honors while both the men’s and women’s teams were named All-Academic teams, the organization announced Monday.

Stanford’s four individual honorees include Amy Bunnage, Sophia Kennedy, Mena Scatchard and Riley Stewart. In order to qualify for the honor, student-athletes must have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale and finish in the top-25 (or 10 percent) at the NCAA Regional championships or earn All-American honors at the NCAA Championships.
