STARKVILLE – Five Mississippi State track and field and cross country athletes were tabbed for the CSC Academic All-District teams for their performances on the track, field and in the classroom.

Boulay and Jepleting earned the award for the cross-country season. Jepleting, a kinesiology major, finished 16th at the South Region Championships and earned All-Region honors last fall. Boulay, an accounting major, holds a perfect 4.0 GPA and finished 45th in the same regional championship.
Nel, Rougetet and Ross-Hughes advanced to the NCAA East First Rounds this outdoor track and field season, with the latter two athletes qualifying for the outdoor championships. Â

Rougetet, a mathematics and criminology double major, had a massive outdoor season. Rougetet took the SEC title in the hammer, as well as a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships in the same event. She will advance to the Academic All-America nominations, to be voted on by College Sports Communicators members.
