NEW ORLEANS – The Trinity University men's and women's track & field teams were both honored as All-Academic Teams by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, while nine individual Tiger student-athletes were named All-Academic Athletes for the 2026 season.

Teams were required to have a cumulative team GPA of 3.10 or higher for the spring semester. Individuals were required to have a minimum 3.30 GPA for the spring semester, while also finishing among the top 50 individuals or top 35 relay teams in an event and/or competing at NCAA Indoor or Outdoor Championships.

Making the list for the Trinity men's team were senior Bocar Diagana (Edina, Minn. / Edina) and sophomore Kyle Fix (Wilmette, Ill. / New Trier), with Diagana earning the recognition for the third time in his career. The Tiger women featured sophomores Halle Hamilton (Craig, Colo. / Moffat County), Annabelle Lanik (Sugar Land, Texas / St. John's), Sophia Ortiz (Liberty Hill, Texas / Liberty Hill), and Emerson Voldan (Arlington, Texas / Mansfield Summit), along with first-years Ciara Catton (Leander, Texas / Leander), Isabella Gaylord (San Antonio, Texas / Reagan), and Brightly Thoning (Homer, Alaska / Homer). Voldan earned the award for the second straight year and was the only repeat winner for the women's team.

Led by Head Coach Marcus Whitehead, the Tiger men's and women's track & field teams finished as runners-up at the Southern Athletic Association Outdoor Championships. Earlier in the semester, Trinity's women won the SAA Indoor Championship, with the men finishing second. Lanik earned All-American honors in both the indoor and outdoor long jump, finishing third at both events. Diagana was also an All-American after finishing 16th at indoor nationals, then finished up with a 17th-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
