OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton cross country junior Nick Monkemeyer has earned Academic All-District 7 distinction from the College Sports Information Directors of America.
He is Creighton's first cross country runner to earn Academic All-District recognition since Jessica Donner was a Second Team All-District VII pick during the 2002-03 academic year.
A Rockford, Ill., product, Monkemeyer owns a perfect 4.00 GPA. The Doctor of Pharmacy candidate has been on the Dean's List each of his six semesters at Creighton and is a member of Creighton's Honors program.
On the course, Monkemeyer ran in all six cross country meets for Creighton last fall, and was the team's No. 2 runner at the 2018 BIG EAST Championship. Monkemeyer also owns the 12th-best 10K time in program history, and 22nd-best 8K clocking.
