MONMOUTH, Ill.

To qualify for CSC Academic All-District, student-athletes must be at least sophomore standing, have a minimum 3.50 cumulative GPA and participate in at least 90% of their teams games or start at least 66% of their games.

The women's team placed three seniors on the All-District team and all are 3-time selections. Allie Hoy (Woodland, Illinois), Averi Rangel (Moline, Illinois) and Kynlee Stearns (Gilson, Illinois) earned the honor for the women's team again this season.

The men's team also had a 3-time selection with senior Kyle Taylor (Moline, Illinois). Senior Jason Huber (Carpentersville, Illinois) is a repeat selection and senior Payton Crims (Alsip, Illinois) is a first-time selection.
