STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford distance runners Mena Scatchard and Juliette Whittaker were named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Women's Track & Field/Cross Country Academic All-America team on Wednesday morning.
Whittaker was tabbed to the First Team, while Scatchard was honored with Second Team recognition. Stanford's Academic All-America class is now complete with 30 student-athletes for the 2025-26 season.
Whittaker closed her decorated Stanford career with All-America finishes in the 800 meters during both the indoor and outdoor seasons, placing fourth indoors and ninth outdoors. She also captured a pair of ACC titles in dramatic fashion, winning the outdoor 1,500 meters by .03 seconds and the indoor 800 meters by .16 seconds.
Whittaker becomes a First Team All-American for the second time in her career (2024), graduating from Stanford with a Science, Technology, and Society degree behind a 3.88 GPA.
Scatchard made an immediate impact during her lone season on The Farm, earning outdoor Second Team All-America honors in the 1500 meters by placing 14th, while becoming the No. 2 performer in program history in the event. Kennedy earned her seventh career All-America honor with a 13th-place finish in the indoor 5000 meters.
A two-time academic all-conference selection, Scatchard earns Academic All-America honors for the first time in her career. The North Yorkshire, U.K., native boasts a 3.96 GPA and is currently pursuing a master's degree in Policy, Organization, and Leadership Studies.
