ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Navy senior standouts Annie Taylor, Ellie Abraham and McKenna Brophy earned 2023-24 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Women's Track & Field / Cross Country Academic All-America honors as announced by the CSC on Tuesday. Taylor garnered first-team recognition, while Abraham and Brophy earned second-team nods. With the three awards, the Midshipmen now boast four Academic All-Americans for the 2023-24 academic year.

Taylor, Abraham and Brophy are first-time honorees and mark the most Academic All-Americans in program history in a single year. Taylor also becomes the second athlete in program history to earn first-team acknowledgment, joining Kirsten Andrews (2006-07). 

Taylor ended her academic career as one of 17 members on the All-America team with a perfect 4.0 GPA. The mathematics major repeated as the Patriot League indoor pentathlon and outdoor heptathlon gold medalist during the 2023-24 season, also helping the Mids distance medley relay take first place at this year's indoor championship. 

Abraham, a history major, finished her Navy career with a 3.81 GPA. During the season, she won the 3,000m steeplechase at the Patriot League Outdoor Championships for the third-straight year by breaking the meet and Navy record with a time of 10:10.03.

An ocean engineering major, Brophy finished the year with a near perfect 3.97 GPA. Brophy was part of the 4x800m relay quartet that placed second at the Patriot League Outdoor Championships this past May.
