Moody Named To CSC Academic All-America First Team

AUSTIN, Texas – USC Women's Track and Field standout Samirah Moody has added another accolade to her already impressive resume as she has been named to the College Sports Communicators' Academic All-America First Team.

Moody has been a staple for the Trojans this season as she was the national champion in the 100m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. With her performance in that event and her performance in the 4x100m relay, she helped the Trojans earn a second-place finish as a team. The Academic All-Big Ten honoree also had stellar performances on the way to the team winning the Big Ten Championships, securing first place in the 100m and 4x100m relay.

Off the track, Moody is heavily involved in her community as she was one of the Big Ten's Jackie Robinson Community and Impact Award recipients this year. This award is given to one male and female student-athlete on each of the 18 Big Ten campuses who exemplify Jackie Robinson's core values of courage, determination, teamwork, persistence, integrity, citizenship, justice, commitment and excellence. Moody was heavily involved in community service, outreach and peer education on campus at USC. She was also an advocate for women's and mental health issues. The Randolph, Massachusetts, native graduated with a bachelor's degree in communication and a master's degree in criminal justice.

Moody is one of 15 athletes to be named to the Academic-All America First Team. This is the first time she has received this honor.
