INDIANAPOLIS - Three student-athletes represented the Great Midwest on the Academic All-District Women's At-Large Team, while one was named to the Academic All-District Men's At-Large Team.

Hanna Cedarholm (University of Findlay, swimming) and Meredith Wipper (University of Findlay, golf) were joined by Malone's Christina Williams (golf) in the field of 10 that made up the Academic All-District 4 Team. Luke Kelly (University of Findlay, golf) was one of 10 named on the men's side.

The Academic All-District Teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in their sport and in the classroom. 

Cedarholm finished off a tremendous career for the Oilers by being named All-American in the 100-yard breaststroke, 200-yard breaststroke, and 200-yard medley relay by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA). The senior was named Great Midwest Swimmer of the Year and Swimmer of the Meet this season. 

Cedarholm carries a 3.90 GPA while majoring in Animal Science/Pre-Veterinary. 

Wipper ranked second in the conference averaging 74.5 strokes per round as Findlay completed five events before the season was cut short. She was named All-East Region and Second Team All-American by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) last month. 

In the classroom, the senior holds a 3.77 GPA while studying Sport & Event Management. 

Williams was slotted fourth in the conference recording a 75.9 scoring average through five events. She is a two-time All-Conference select and the first Pioneer to ever compete in the NCAA DII East Regional.

The junior carries a 3.93 GPA while studying Accounting/Business Administration. She was one of only two non-seniors named to the District 4 Team. 

Kelly, a standout on Findlay's men's golf team, led the conference with a scoring average of 71.7. Kelly is a two-time All-Conference and All-Region select and is the Oilers first men's golfer to be named All-American at the NCAA Division II level. 

The senior carries a 3.49 GPA while majoring in Finance.
