GREENSBORO, NC – UNC Greensboro’s Jess Weber has been selected to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Track and Field/Cross Country All-District III First Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for her athletic and academic achievements.
Weber, who is now eligible for consideration for the Academic All-America teams, is currently working on her master's degree in conflict resolution and is carrying a 4.00 grade point average in her graduate level courses. She is a five year member of the Southern Conference All-Academic Team and her selection marks her third consecutive Academic All-District Selection.
The Lofton, VA native just completed her final season of eligibility and is UNCG’s school record holder in the indoor 800 meters (2.21.75) and the mile (5:13.71) while also holding outdoor records in the 800 meters (2:17.81) and the 1500 meters (4:44.97).
