Senior cross country standout owns a 4.00 GPA in pharmacy school
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton cross country senior Nick Monkemeyer has earned Academic All-District 7 distinction from the College Sports Information Directors of America. It's the second straight season that Monkemeyer has been honored.
Last year he became 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. He would go on to become the first CoSIDA Academic All-American in Creighton Cross Country history, and the 11th student-athlete across all Bluejay sports to be named a First Team Academic All-American by CoSIDA.
A Rockford, Ill., product, Monkemeyer owns a perfect 4.00 GPA in pharmacy school after finishing his time as an undergrad with a 3.95 GPA. The Doctor of Pharmacy candidate has been on the Dean's List each of his eight 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. 4 runner at the 2019 BIG EAST Championship. Monkemeyer also owns the 12th-best 10K time in program history, and 24th-best 8K clocking.
The 2019-20 CoSIDA Academic All-District® Men's Track & Field/Cross Country Team recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team ballot, with first-, second- and third-team Academic All-America honorees to be announced in June.
Â
