University of Montana graduate student Baily Cox of Wilbur, Wash., was named to the 12-member ESPN The Magazine Women's Cross Country/Track & Field Academic All-District VII Team the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced Thursday. With her district-level first-team selection, Cox now advances to the national ballot for ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America consideration.
Cox, who has a 4.00 GPA as a physical therapy graduate student after finishing her undergraduate biology degree with a 3.87 GPA, became Montana's 46th CoSIDA Academic All-American last June (and first since Chris Tobiason in 2004) when she made the national third team.
A multi-sport athlete, Cox closed her career with top-three finishes at her final three Big Sky Conference multi-events competitions. She won the outdoor heptathlon title in 2007, placed third in the indoor pentathlon last winter and finished second in the outdoor heptathlon last month with a career-high 5,278 points, a total which ranked 31st nationally.
Cox, who added fourth-place finishes in the long and triple jumps at last month's outdoor championships, qualified for all eight Big Sky indoor and outdoor championships in her career and earned seven Academic All-Big Sky selections (with the 2008 outdoor teams yet to be announced).
