WALTHAM, Mass. – Recent Brandeis University graduate Erin Magill of Moretown, Vermont, has been named to the 2022 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Women's Cross Country and Track and Field Academic All-District team for Division III. She will now advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot.

The 2021-22 Academic All-District® Women's Cross Country and Track and Field Team, selected by CoSIDA, recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CoSIDA Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA. To be eligible for the team, student-athletes must carry at least a 3.30 grade-point average and be a significant contributor to their team.

Magill has earned All-America honors in her first two trips to the NCAA Championships. At the 2021 Division III Cross Country meet, she placed 36th overall, helping the Judges to a 20th-place finish. During the 2022 Indoor Track and Field championships, she placed sixth in the 5K with a time of 16:54.62, then a career-best and the second-fastest time in school history. Magill won University Athletic Association championships in the 5,000-meters both indoors and outdoors, and she will be competing in the 5K this weekend at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Magill's fastest time this outdoor season was run at the NEICAAA Championships on May 13th, when she won the title with a time of 16:52.26. Magill will be seeded 15th at the NCAA Championships with that time, third among New England competitors and second among UAA runners. Magill was seeded 10th at the indoor meet when she earned her second All-America honor.

In the classroom, Magill graduated with a perfect 4.00 grade-point average as a double major in linguistics and French and Francophone Studies. She was named to the Dean's List every semester and was named Phi Beta Kappa as a junior. Magill spent the summer before her senior year working at a Russian Summer Intensive Program at Middlebury College in her home state of Vermont, and, after graduating, she will be teaching English in France.

Magill is a 2018 graduate of Harwood Union High School.
