Oskaloosa--Five individuals from different William Penn female athletic programs were honored for strong 2024-2025 seasons in and out of the classroom as they earned At-Large academic all-district honors from College Sports Communicators.

Women's wrestler Kendall Bostelman (Jr., Napoleon, Ohio, Exercise Science) guided the crew with a 3.81 Grade Point Average at the end of the 2025 spring semester.
