The honors mark the first for the programs since the 2016 season when a pair of Wolfpack student-athletes from the track and field and cross country squads were named to the Academic All-District Teams.
Crosby, who boasts a perfect 4.0 GPA as a physiology major, was honored as a member of the Academic All-District Team for the first time in her career.

Crosby also became an All-Region honoree during the 2018 cross country season with a top-20 finish at the NCAA Southeast Regional.
Crosby recently qualified for the NCAA Championships after placing 11th in the women's 3000m steeplechase at the NCAA East Preliminary with the third-fastest time in school history (10:08.54).
Rivers, the 2019 ACC Indoor Track and Field Heptathlon Champion, earned his first appointment to the Academic All-District Team. The Hendersonville, N.C. native is a three-time all-conference performer and set the NC State indoor heptathlon record with 5,177 pts.
