Paupore Named CSC Academic All-America

AUSTIN, Texas — Central Michigan Cross Country and Track & Field's Emily Paupore has been named Academic All-America Second Team by College Sports Communicators (CSC) Tuesday.

Paupore earned an 11^th-place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2025 NCAA I Outdoor Track & Field Championships in June to claim her first All-America title in competition as a second-teamer.

The national performance was preceded by three Mid-American Conference Championships between the outdoor (steeplechase, 5,000m) and indoor (5000m) seasons and an all-region performance in NCAA Cross Country during academic year 2024-25.

A fifth-year senior from Negaunee, Mich., Paupore graduated with a bachelor's in education (Pre-K through 6^th) with a 3.91 grade-point average. She is one of 45 NCAA I student-athletes to be named to one of CSC's three Academic All-America teams, ranking in the top 20 of the group by GPA.

Paupore is the second in program history to earn Academic All-America status from CSC, Kary Tomaw's 1997 third-team nod standing as the first. Last year, CMU Wrestling's Alex Cramer ended a five-year drought for the Chippewas as a whole in the category—CMU Women's Basketball's Reyna Frost was the previous (2019).
