Harding University runners Gosia Drazkowska and Katy Grant both earned ESPN the
Magazine Track and Field/Cross Country Academic All-District VI on Thursday. It
was Drazkowska's second straight Academic All-District honor.

A native of
Wloclawek, Poland, Drazkowska qualified nationally for the outdoor 800 meters

and added another in the indoor distance medley relay in 2005.

Drazkowska
is a senior, international business major and Spanish minor with a 3.88
grade-point average.

Grant, who hails from Mustang, Okla., recently
competed at outdoor nationals in the 3000-meter steeplechase, placing 17th. It
was her first trip to nationals in her two-year career. Grant finished sixth in
the GSC cross-country championships and 11th in the South Region meet, earning
All-GSC and All-Region honors.

Grant, already a senior academically, has
two seasons of eligibility remaining. She has perfect 4.00 grade-point average
as a social work major and Spanish minor.

The ESPN the Magazine Academic
All-District teams are voted on by the district's sports information directors.

Mexico, Oklahoma and Mississippi.

to the Academic All-America ballot. The Academic All-America Team will be
