Inglis Named Landmark Conference Women’s Cross Country Senior Scholar-Athlete

TOWSON, Md. - The Landmark Conference selects 23 senior scholar-athletes each year to recognize the top student-athlete in each sport based on academics and athletics.

The honorees must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.20 and are selected by a committee of Landmark Conference officers, athletics directors, senior woman administrators, faculty athletic representatives, athletic communications, and diversity, ethnicity, and inclusion designee.

Catholic University’s Kate Inglis has been named the 2024 Landmark Conference Women’s Cross Country Senior Scholar-Athlete, making her the second Cardinal to receive the honor. She joins Kiera Lyons, who was selected in 2018.

As a nursing major with an impressive 3.93 grade point average, Inglis has earned recognition as a College Sports Communicators Academic All-District honoree twice (2023, 2024) and was named a USTFCCCA All-Academic Athlete in 2023.

Athletically, Inglis has been a cornerstone of Catholic’s cross country success. She helped lead the Cardinals to back-to-back Landmark Conference team championships (2023, 2024) and competed in two NCAA Championships. Individually, she is a four-time All-Conference selection, earning First Team honors three times (2022, 2023, 2024) and Second Team honors in her debut season (2021). This year, she captured the 2024 Landmark Conference individual title and was named the Landmark Athlete of the Year. Inglis is also a two-time United States Track and Field & Cross Country Coaches (USTFCCCA) All-South Region honoree (2023, 2024) and a three-time Landmark Athlete of the Week.

Off the course, Inglis has served as a captain for the cross country team and was the former chair of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. Additionally, she has volunteered with Cardinal Cupboard and participated in Catholic’s MLK Jr. and Mother Teresa Days of Service.
