STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford runners Roisin Willis and Zofia Dudek were named to the Academic All-America team for women’s track and field/cross country by College Sports Communicators.
Willis, the 2025 NCAA outdoor 800-meter champion, was named to the first team and Dudek, the Atlantic Coast Conference indoor 5,000 champ, received second-team honors. This is the second Academic All-America honor for Willis and the third for Dudek.
Willis, a junior history major from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, broke the NCAA Outdoor Championships record in capturing her third career NCAA title. Her personal-record time of 1:58.13 at the championships in Eugene, Oregon, was an ACC record and the third-fastest time in collegiate history.
Willis, the USTFCCCA West Region Women’s Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year, has the second-most NCAA women’s titles in program history, behind the five of Lauren Fleshman ’03. She is nine-time All-American and was named 2025 ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year for women’s track and field.
Dudek, a graduate student in biomedical data science from Poland via Ann Arbor, Michigan, earned second-team indoor All-America honors in the distance medley relay and was an NCAA outdoor qualifier in the 5,000, placing 17th. A four-time All-American, Dudek represents Poland in international competition.
