Kenadee Wayt was named the 2023 NCAA Division III Women’s Outdoor Track & Field National Scholar Track Athlete of the Year. Wayt, who maintained a cumulative GPA of 4.0, swept the short sprint titles at the 2023 NCAA DIII Outdoor Track & Field Championships with victories in both the 100 meters and 200 meters. This is the first time in program history that an athlete from Mount Union has been named National Scholar Track Athlete of the Year during the outdoor track & field season (Aubree Jones took home National Scholar Field Athlete of the Year honors back in 2012).
