Stanford’s Roisin Willis has been named the Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year by the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). This recognition adds to her list of achievements, including a recent victory in the 800 meters at the NCAA Championships held in Eugene, Oregon. Her performance set a meet record time of 1:58.13, marking it as the third-fastest in collegiate history and an ACC record.
Willis is not new to accolades; she was previously crowned the world under-20 champion for both the 800 meters and 4×400 relay events. She holds three NCAA titles, with two earned during indoor championships in 2023. As a history major, Willis has also been honored as a nine-time All-American and was named West Region Women’s Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
This marks Stanford’s first academic year in the ACC, with Willis being one of five from Stanford to receive this prestigious scholar-athlete title. The other recipients include Julietta Camahort (women’s rowing), Maxime Raynaud (men’s basketball), Elia Rubin (women’s volleyball), and Jack Ryan (men’s swimming and diving).
The ACC also recognized Miami’s Devoux Deysel as Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year alongside announcing their All-Academic teams.
