Five Big Green Named to CSC Academic All-District Women’s Track and Field/Cross Country Team

HANOVER, N.H. — The College Sports Communicators (CSC, formerly CoSIDA) today announced its Academic All-District Women's Track and Field/Cross Country Teams. Dartmouth had five student-athletes selected for the honor – seniors Emma Cunningham, Julia Fenerty, Anya Hirschfeld and Corinne Robitaille and junior Bridget McNally.

A student-athlete is not required to compete in all three sports (cross country, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field) to be nominated. To be included, a student-athlete must participate in 50 percent in any of the three sports and must have at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA. The quintet will now go on the ballot for CSC Academic All-America consideration with the first-, second-, and third-team honorees being announced on June 28.

Hailing from Ramsey, N.J., Cunningham boasts a 3.85 GPA as a quantitative social science major. Cunningham earned two podium finishes for the Big Green at the Ivy League Indoor Heptagonal Championships this past winter, placing fifth in long jump and sixth in triple jump. During the outdoor season, she finished second in long jump and triple jump at the George Davis Invitational. A week later, Cunningham took second in long jump and third in the 100m dash at the UMass Pre-Conference Invitational. She was named Academic All-Ivy for the indoor season.

Fenerty, a government major from Franklin, Mass. with a 3.74 GPA, had a record-breaking year for the Big Green. She now has the program record for the 800m race both in indoor (2:05.26) and outdoor (2:03.81). The outdoor time came at the Ivy League Championships, which was a new Ivy meet record and earned Fenerty the gold medal. Fenerty anchored the indoor and outdoor Ivy League 4x800m relay group while also finishing second in the mile during the indoor Ivy League Championships. She was recognized as Academic All-Ivy for cross country and outdoor track and field. Fenerty just recently concluded her Big Green career at the NCAA East Regional, finishing 13^th in the 800m race.

From Seattle, Wash., Hirschfeld is a quantitative social science major with a 3.69 GPA. Hirschfeld ran on both the indoor and outdoor Ivy League 800m champion group, earning First-Team All-Ivy honors. She also earned a podium finish in the 1000m race at the Ivy League indoor championships as well as the 1500m race at the outdoor championships. Hirschfeld recently wrapped up her career with the Green and White at the NCAA East Regional, where she competed in the 1500m race.

An engineering sciences major with a 3.63 GPA from Manchester, N.H., Robitaille posted strong showings for the Big Green this year. In the fall, Robitaille finished fourth at the Ivy League Cross Country Championships, earning First-Team All-Ivy recognition. Not long after, she finished ninth at the NCAA East Regional to earn All-Region honors as well as being named a USTFCCCA All-Academic Athlete. Robitaille earned crucial points for the Big Green at the Ivy League Outdoor Track and Field Championships, finishing fourth in both the 5000m and 10000m races.

Rounding out the honorees is McNally, a New Jersey native with a 3.70 GPA as a neuroscience major. McNally broke the program record in long at the Ivy League Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a mark of 6.25m, taking second in the event and earning Second-Team All-Ivy recognition. She also competed in the 4x100m relay for Dartmouth, helping the Big Green to a fourth-place finish.

The 2022-23 Academic All-District Women's Track and Field/Cross Country Team recognizes the nation's top student-athlete for their combined performances in sport and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America program separately recognizes track and field honorees in four divisions – NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
