Centre's Serena McNeilly was one of the 15 student-athletes in Division III to earn First Team Academic All-America.

McNeilly enjoyed one of the finest individual seasons ever put together by any student-athlete in any sport in the history of Centre College. The junior from Radcliff, Ky. via Australia won a pair of national championships during indoor track & field season in the pentathlon and high jump, and then followed that up with two national runner-up finishes in outdoor season in the high jump and triple jump. During her career, McNeilly has earned All-America honors on the track 13 different times in three years.

In the classroom, McNeilly has been named to the SAA Academic Honor Roll in each of her three seasons at Centre, carrying a 3.84 GPA at the time of nomination with a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
