McClellan is a junior from Perham, Minnesota, with a 4.0 cumulative grade-point average in English education. She was named the Summit League Indoor Track Athlete of the Year and the Summit League Indoor Championships MVP in 2014.

Wahlund is a sophomore from Minot, North Dakota, majoring in exercise science with a 3.89 cumulative grade-point average. She was named the 2013 Summit League Cross Country Athlete of the Year after winning the Summit League individual title and leading NDSU to a third-consecutive team championship.

McClellan and Wahlund become the seventh and eighth women in NDSU’s Division I era to earn first-team Academic All-District honors.

As All-District honorees, both will advance to the national ballot for Capital One Academic All-America honors.
