RADFORD, Va. – College Sports Communicators (CSC) announced Tuesday that seven Radford Track & Field athletes have been named to the Academic All-District team for success in the classroom and on the track for the 2025-26 season. The list includes Katelyn Campbell, Kayla Fields, Kandace McIvor, Jaslyne Robinson, Jaylen Rosser, Salomon Alexis, and Tyrique Taylor.
To become eligible to earn the award, a student-athlete must be at least a sophomore and compete in a majority of the program's contests. They must also have at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA. Only about three percent of student-athletes at the Division I level are eligible to earn the award.
As one of the team's distance runners, Campbell competed in the 3,000m and steeplechase events. She took sixth place in the Big South steeplechase with a personal-best time of 11:14.41. Campbell added an indoor PR in the 3,000m with a time of 10:29.97 at the Liberty Kick Off meet back in December. The sophomore from Yorktown, Va., earned a 3.91 GPA this semester as a Nutrition major after also being honored on the Big South All-Academic Team for the 2025 Cross Country season.
Returning from injury in the outdoor season, Fields set PRs in the 3,000m, 5,000m, and 10,000m to end the season. Her highlight was a fourth-place finish in the 10,000m at the Big South Outdoor Championships with a time of 36:40.76. She also took a second-place result in the 3,000m at the Davidson Relays. Fields received honors on the Big South All-Academic Team for the outdoor season. The junior from Yorktown, Va., had a 3.99 GPA this semester as a Geospatial Science major.
Wrapping up her senior season, McIvor did a little bit of everything as the Highlanders' heptathlete at the Big South Outdoor Championships. She took home sixth place with a career-high 4,280 points. Throughout the season, McIvor set PRs in the 300m, 500m, 800m, high jump, and javelin throw. She graduated with an MBA this spring and boasted a 4.0 GPA.
As the lead hurdler for the Highlanders, Robinson finished third in the All-Big South honors in the 400m hurdles. She also was a key part of Radford's 4x400 relay squad which took second place (3:42.84) in the outdoor conference meet. The senior also set an indoor personal best in the conference meet with an 8.69 second 60m hurdles to take fourth place. Robinson graduated from Radford this spring as a Marketing major and Social Justice minor. She posted a 3.51 GPA while also serving as co-President of the Radford Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
As one of Radford's throwers, Rosser set new personal bests in the weight throw (Jan. 23-24 at Hokie Invite), shot put (Feb. 6-7 at Doc Hale Invite), and discus throw (May 11-13 at Big South Outdoor Championships). The Roanoke, Va., native graduated from Radford this spring with a degree in Biology, boasting a 3.86 GPA.
Joining the team in men's track return, Alexis specialized in the jumps. In the Big South Indoor Championships, he took fifth place in the triple jump as his best finish at either of the conference meets. He also helped the Big South men take down the SoCon in the conference challenge meet, taking fifth with a personal-best in the triple jump (14.16m). Alexis posted a 3.68 GPA as a sophomore Health and Exercise major.
As the lone thrower for the Radford men, Taylor hit his peak at the Big South Outdoor Championships. He placed second to earn all-conference honors in the discus throw with a new personal-best of 50.95 meters. The Christiansburg native also added a personal-best in the shot put to take fifth in the outdoor conference meet. Academically, Taylor received honors by making the Big South All-Academic Team for the outdoor track season. The senior graduated with a degree in Social Science, having a 3.83 GPA, and looks to continue his postgraduate education at Radford.
