Five Chosen for Academic All-District® Men’s Track and Field/Cross Country Teams

Five Hope College student-athletes have been named to the 2025 Academic All-District® Men's Track and Field/Cross Country teams, selected by College Sports Communicators: seniors Alex Daniels, Lucas Guidone, Tyler King, and Connor Vachon, and junior Erickson Kunzler.

The program recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in competition and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes women's track and field honorees in four divisions: NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Academic All-District® honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. Student-athletes selected as CSC Academic All-America® finalists will advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members and announced later this summer.

Daniels (Holland, Michigan / Holland HS) was an exercise science major. The senior helped the Flying Dutchmen's 4x400 relay finish runner-up at the MIAA Indoor Championships in February while taking fourth in both the 60 and 200 meters.
