Three seniors on UNC's track and field teams – RJ Alowonle, Emily Godwin and Sarah Howard – have earned Academic All-District honors for 2016-17, as announced Thursday by CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America).
The awards recognize outstanding performance in both academics and athletics and include competitors in cross country, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field. Howard was honored for the fourth time in her UNC career, Godwin for the third and Alowonle for the first.
Alowonle is from Cottage Grove, Minn., and graduated from UNC earlier this month.
