SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Pole vaulter Lexi Evans was selected to the 2024-25 College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Division I Women’s Cross Country/Track & Field Third Team, the organization announced on Tuesday.
The San Diego native was one of just 45 athletes to be named to this year’s CSC Academic All-America women’s track & field/cross country team, and one of 15 selected to the Third Team. This marks the fourth straight year an athlete from the Cal Poly track and field program has garnered CSC Academic All-American praise.
Evans is the 15th athlete in Cal Poly history to receive CSC Academic All-America honors and the seventh track & field/cross country athlete, joining Davis Bove, John Bennett, Emily Hallett, Alex Merder, Robin Root and Jill Ellingsen.
The aerospace engineering major recently wrapped up her junior season on the track and field team at the end of May. This spring, Evans shattered the school record in the women’s pole vault by over 5 inches at the Mark Conover Classic and won the Big West title for the second straight year to become the fourth back-to-back champion in the women’s pole vault in conference history. In her third straight appearance at the NCAA West Preliminary meet, Evans narrowly missed out on qualifying for the NCAA Championships, clearing the bar at 14 feet, 2 inches (4.32 meters) to finish in a tie for 14th, two places short of advancing to NCAAs in Eugene.
Evans is a no stranger to receiving praise for her success in the classroom. She is a two-time Big West All-Academic selection and a two-time U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic Athlete.
