PROVIDENCE, R.I. – JWU (Providence) graduate student Julia Caputo has been named to the 2025-26 Academic All-District® Women's Track & Field/Cross Country teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, which recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom.

A transfer from Siena University, Caputo completed her final year of eligibility for the Wildcats and was named the Conference of New England (CNE) Track Athlete of the Year. The Canton, Massachusetts native – who received her MBA from JWU last month – placed first in the 800m run (2:21.43), 1500m run (4:38.48), and 5000m run (17:11.16) at the conference championship on April 25 to earn all-conference honors in all three.

Caputo went on to compete at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field National Championship in Wisconsin in May, where she placed 10th in the country in the 5000m run with a time of 16:47.42. For her efforts, she earned All-America Second Team honors.

The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes women's track & field/cross country honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA. Academic All-District® honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot.
