          Kuxmann, an English major, was honored in NCAA Division III District 7 for his achievements in track and in classroom. This is the second straight year Kuxmann has earned All-District honors and last year he went onto be named to the 2020-21 Academic All-America® Men's Track & Field/Cross Country Second Team.
          Kuxmann has a near perfect grade point average and earned All-American honors after a third-place finish in the 800 Meters at the 2021 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track National Championships and the 2022 NCAA Division III Indoor Championships in March. He will be competing in the 2022 Outdoor Championships on Friday.

First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in June.
