PITTSBURGH, PA – Pitt track and field graduate student Felix Wolter was selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-District 2 Team (DC, DE, KY, MD, NJ, PA, WV), the organization announced Thursday afternoon. This marks the first time in his Pitt career Wolter has earned the academic recognition.
Wolter becomes just the second Panther in track and field program history to earn a spot on the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team, joining Gillian Schriever in 2018.
The Munich, Germany native has turned in one of the most impressive campaigns in Pitt program history this season. The graduate student notched the ACC Indoor heptathlon title and went on to earn Second Team All-American honors at the indoor national meet before claiming gold in the ACC outdoor decathlon two weeks ago at Duke. He is the first Panther in program history to earn ACC titles in either event while also being just the second ACC athlete to earn back-to-back indoor heptathlon titles.
The school record holder in the indoor heptathlon and outdoor decathlon, Wolter qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in the decathlon with the 13th best score in the nation so far this season. He will begin competition in Oregon on Wednesday, June 8 with the 100m dash.
In the classroom, Wolter is a three-time Academic All-ACC honoree and currently holds a 3.69 GPA in his masters of computer science program.
Wolter is now a candidate for Academic All-America honors, which will be announced June 21.
