Kaylee Jones (Omaha, Neb./Millard North HS) has a 3.92 GPA in exercise science.  This is also her third CoSIDA Academic All-American® award and second straight year of being a 1st-Team selection.  She joins sister Elizabeth as one of three NWU women’s track athletes to earn the award three times.

Anna Frazier (Omaha, Neb./Millard North HS) joins her high school teammates on the 2019 CoSIDA Academic All-American® team to earn her first career recognition appearing on the 2nd-Team.  She has a 3.84 GPA in exercise science.
