McKenzie Altmayer of the Bradley cross country and track teams continues to excel in competition and in the classroom and on Thursday, she named to the Academic All-America Women's Track & Field/Cross Country Third Team, presented by CoSIDA.
A graduate student at Bradley, Altmayer is one of just 46 student-athletes in the country to receive the prestigious award. It also marks the seventh time in school history that a runner has received the honor with six of the recipients occurring in the last six years.
