Owen Carlson was named to the College Sports Communicators' (CSC) Academic All-District team, the organization announced Tuesday afternoon (June 2).
It is Carlson's second consecutive season receiving CSC Academic All-District honors and is the second academic award he has received this season after garnering Academic All-Ivy honors on May 14.
Student-athletes eligible for nomination to the CSC Academic All-District Team must maintain a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 (on a 4.0 scale) and participate in at least 90 percent of the institution's games or start in 66 percent of their team's games.

Carlson, who has a 4.03 cumulative grade-point average while majoring in economics, concluded the 2026 campaign with a .312 batting average across his 30 games played and 29 starts, hitting three doubles and two home runs and having 12 RBI.

Carlson was one of six Ivy League hitters with a sub-1.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Also excelling defensively, Carlson committed just one error in 74 fielding chances, leading to an impressive .986 fielding percentage.
