PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Five members of the Plymouth State University men's cross country and track & field programs were honored by College Sports Communicators for their academic excellence on Tuesday, as the CSC Academic All-District Teams were announced.

Brayden White (Whitefield, N.H.),
Jacob Gallaher (Gambrills, Md.) and

A maximum of five qualifying student-athletes can be nominated per institution.

John Ostler, the men's cross country team won its second-straight LEC Championship and placed a program-best seventh at the NCAA East Regional Championship. Interim head coach
Alice Field piloted the indoor track & field team to a fourth place finish at the LEC Indoor Championships with 109 points, the second most in program history, while the outdoor track & field team was also fourth at LEC Outdoor Championships after scoring 81 points, also the second most in school history.
