GREENWOOD, Ind. – Graduate student Corrina Obernesser (Westminster, Colo.) of the Southern New Hampshire University women's cross country and track & field teams was recently chosen for the Academic All-District Team, selected by College Sports Communicators.
Obernesser, who also captured the award in 2024, compiled a 3.67 GPA while pursuing her Master's degree in criminal justice and was also an NE10 Academic All-Conference honoree during the cross country season.
