STARKVILLE – Three Mississippi State track and field and cross country athletes were named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team. Anje Nel and Sherman Hawkins represented men’s and women’s track, and Gabrielle Boulay represented cross country.

Athletes with at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average and a top-50 ranking regionally, or a top-50 finish at the cross country regional championships, are eligible.

Anje Nel, a three-time NCAA East First Round qualifier, closed out the season ranked 38th in the 400m hurdles in the East Region. Nel, a native of Nelspruit, South Africa, boasts a 3.86 GPA and majors in business administration.

Sherman Hawkins, a staple in the sprints and relays for the men’s team, finished the season ranked 29th in the 400m in the East Region. Hawkins, an All-SEC and All-American in the sprints and jumps, majors in business administration and holds a 3.59 GPA.

Gabrielle Boulay, also majoring in business administration, holds a perfect 4.0 GPA. Boulay led the cross country team in the 5k and was one of the first women to go sub-20 in the 6k, now tying for the program record in the distance. Boulay earned a 25th-place finish at the NCAA South Region Championships and All-Region honors, the first for State since 2016.

All three athletes will return to State in the fall, with Boulay set to compete in the upcoming cross country season.
