GREENWOOD, Ind.--Westminster College's Ryan Beard (Murrysville, Pa., Franklin Regional), Jacob Forrest (Aliquippa, Pa., Hopewell) and Anthony Kamenski (Chicora, Pa., Karns City) were recognized by the College Sports Communicators (CSC) with Academic All-District® honors Tuesday afternoon.

The Academic All-District® teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in athletic competition and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes cross country/track and field honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Beard, a two-time Academic All-America® selection (2021-22, 2022-23), has maintained a 4.00 cumulative grade-point average (GPA) while pursuing a master of business administration. He posted the 14th-best time in the 200 meters this spring in the Mid-Atlantic Region, registering a time of 22.04 seconds at West Virginia University's Last Chance on May 4. It was also the sixth-best time among Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) competition. Beard also ran a time of 10.99 at Slippery Rock University's Dave Labor Invitational on April 5, which was the No. 5 time in the PAC this season. Beard received the NCAA's Elite 90 award at the 2022 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships, which is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's 90 championships. He is the first Westminster student-athlete to claim an Elite 90 award.

Forrest, a rising senior, carries a 3.77 cumulative GPA as a history major. He posted a 10th-place finish in the shot put (12.15m, 39-10.50) at the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Championships on Apr. 26.

Kamenski earned Academic All-District® for the second-straight year, graduating May 11 with a bachelor's degree in history. He carried a 3.59 cumulative GPA as an undergraduate. Kamenski was recently named All-Mid-Atlantic Region by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) after finishing with the No. 5 time in the region in the 400-meter hurdles, winning the event with a personal-best time of 54.31 seconds at the PAC Championships.

Westminster finished sixth at the PAC's outdoor championships.
