NEWARK, Del. - For the fifth time in program history and the first time since 2014, the University of Delaware women's track & field/cross country program has a CoSIDA Academic All-American honoree.
Abby Bolt, who is a graduate student in the College of Arts & Sciences studying molecular biology, was named Third-Team Academic All-American, marking the first time since Lindsay Prettyman in 2014 that a Blue Hens women's track & field/cross country athlete had earned the distinction.
"This is a tremendous honor and something that Abby has put in a lot of work to achieve," head coach Wendy McFarlane-Smith said. "She is a great example of what our entire program is striving for and exercising with the 'student first' model. We're extremely proud of Abby and earning this recognition."
In the classroom, Bolt posted a 3.88 grade point average in Molecular Biology and Genetics. On the course and in the track, she helped the Blue Hens earn the highest-ever finish at the 2019 CAA Cross Country Championships, earned individual All-CAA honors at the meet and was a qualifier for the 2020 ECAC Indoor Championships.Â
