Missouri Southern junior pole vaulter Ashleigh McFarland has been named to the Capital One Academic All-District team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
To be considered for this honor, a student-athlete must maintain a cumulative 3.30 GPA, as well as participate in at least 50 percent of his team's events. The Lions are in a district with schools from the MIAA, the Great American Conference and the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.
This year, McFarland (Rio Vista, Texas) was an All-MIAA honoree in the indoor pole vault, placing second in the event. She was a provisional qualifier in the outdoor pole vault this season. She was the 2013 MIAA indoor pole vault champion, while earning All-MIAA status and qualifying for nationals.
Throughout her career, McFarland (3.97 - Education) has been a three-time MIAA Academic Honor Roll member and has twice been named Academic All-MIAA. She was one of six MIAA track and field athletes to be named to the All-District team. Her name will now go on the ballot for Academic All-America.
