NAPERVILLE — A total of 34 student-athletes representing the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) were selected to the 2026 Academic All-District® Softball teams, the College Sports Communicators (CSC) announced Tuesday.
 
The Academic All-District® program recognizes student-athletes for achievement in the classroom and in competition. To qualify, nominees must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.50 and meet CSC participation requirements.
 
Six CCIW student-athletes were selected as CSC Academic All-America® finalists and will advance to the national ballot: Carthage's Gwen Hendrick and Clare Rettler, Illinois Wesleyan's Grace Wilkens, Millikin's Charley Condill and Ann Marie Meek, and North Park's Eden Baker. Academic All-America® teams are scheduled to be announced June 16.
