SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – The Slippery Rock University women's track & field and cross country teams placed six student-athletes on the Academic All-District Team when the College Sports Communicators announced the 2025-26 Academic All-District Track & Field and Cross Country teams Tuesday.
 
The Rock are represented on the team by Isabella Bartoletti, Baylee Blauser, Jennifer Cichra, Savannah Schneck, Allie Taylor and Autumn Wyatt. Bartoletti and Cichra become two-time honorees, while the other four selections earn their first Academic All-District honor.
 
In order to be nominated for the Academic All-America program and selected to an Academic All-District team, student-athletes must be at least sophomores in academic and athletic standing, must finish in the top 50 of a regional cross country championship or rank in the top 50 in the region in an individual track & field event, and should have significant athletic credentials, such as All-Conference, All-Region or All-America.
 
Each school in the country can nominate a total of six women from the combined sports of cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field to be placed on the Academic All-District team. A national committee then decides which student-athletes advance to the ballot for the Academic All-America team.
 
Cichra was the lone SRU athlete to advance to the Academic All-America ballot. She is looking to become a two-time Academic All-American after earning third team honors in 2024-25.  
 
A look at the academic and athletic accomplishments of The Rock's six Academic All-District selections can be found below. Voting by the nation's athletic communication professionals will take place over the next week and the Academic All-America team will be announced July 15.

Bartoletti earns her second straight Academic All-District honor after having a strong senior season throwing the javelin this spring. She earned All-PSAC and All-Region honors after recording the third-best throw in the region at 44.33 meters, which also ranked 31st nationally. She took second in the javelin at the PSAC Championships for her third straight runner-up finish at the conference meet. In the classroom, Bartoletti graduated this spring with a 3.72 cumulative GPA after 148 credits while majoring in psychology with a minor in neuroscience.
 
BAYLEE BLAUSER
Blauser earns her first career Academic All-District honor after finishing a stellar career as one of the region's top jumpers over the last four seasons. She closed out her senior year in 2025-26 by ranking in the top 10 in the region in both the long jump and triple jump during both the indoor and outdoor seasons, which included a season-best of 5.86 meters in the long jump and a career-best of 12.00 meters in the triple jump outdoor, which ranked 36th nationally. She scored for SRU in both events at the PSAC indoor and outdoor meets to help The Rock to a sweep of the 2025-26 PSAC titles.

JENNIFER CICHRA
Cichra earns her second Academic All-District award after closing out one of the best academic careers among all SRU students over the last four seasons. She finished her undergraduate degree with a perfect 4.0 GPA while majoring in mechanical engineering with a minor in computing, passing an incredible 174 credit hours in just four years with no grades lower than an A. She earned numerous honors, both regionally and nationally, for her academic excellence in the engineering field. In addition to those academic honors, Cichra was also among the top distance runners in the region. She excelled in the fall cross country season, where she earned first team All-PSAC and All-Region honors in 2025 with the highest finishes of her career at the PSAC and NCAA Atlantic Region Championships. She improved her finish place in each of those championships in all four years of her career, climbing to eighth in the PSAC and 13th in the region this fall. She also ranked 19th in the region in the 800-meter run indoor.
 
SAVANNAH SCHNECK
Schneck returned to action this spring after missing the 2025 outdoor season and the 2025-26 indoor season while recovering from an injury. She picked up right where she left off, winning the PSAC title in the shot put with an NCAA provisional mark and career-best throw of 14.02 meters. She also took fifth in the hammer throw at the PSAC meet to help SRU to the team title. Schneck earned All-Region honors with the second best shot put throw in the region and ranked sixth in the region in the hammer throw with a best of 51.98 meters. In the classroom, she owns a 3.63 GPA after more than 100 credit hours in the psychology, pre-occupational therapy 3+3 program.
 
ALLIE TAYLOR
Taylor earned All-Region honors in the pole vault during both the indoor and outdoor seasons after posting the No. 2 mark in the region indoor (3.73m) and the No. 3 mark in the region outdoor (3.70m). The highlight of the year came during the indoor season when she won the PSAC title for the first indoor crown of her career after also winning the outdoor title in 2025. In the classroom, Taylor graduated this spring with a degree in petroleum and natural gas engineering with a 3.78 GPA after passing more than 150 credit hours.
 
AUTUMN WYATT
Wyatt saved the best for last and had a breakout senior season as a multi-event athlete, which culminated in her winning the first individual PSAC title of her career when she won the conference title in the heptathlon this spring. She posted the No. 1 heptathlon score in the region at 4,612 points, which also ranked 50th nationally. That came after she also earned All-PSAC honors in the pentathlon indoor with the No. 6 score in the region. After originally starting her career as a jumper and transitioning to the multi for the last two seasons, she improved her heptathlon score by nearly 1,600 points during that stretch to become one of the top multi-event athletes in the region. Wyatt, who was also a member of the ROTC program and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at SRU's graduation this spring, earned a degree in psychology with minors in leadership and health care administration and management after posting a 3.86 GPA over 150 credit hours.
