Excellence On and Off the Track: 2025 Academic All-State Athletes
Stephenville, TX — The Stephenville Yellow Jackets and Honeybees continue to shine, not just on the field of competition, but in the classroom as well. Ville Sports proudly congratulates the student-athletes named to the 2025 Academic All-State Track & Field Team, an honor that recognizes their outstanding commitment to both academic success and athletic excellence.
Representing the Honeybees on the 1st Team is senior Lucy Espinosa, whose dedication in the classroom has matched her efforts on the track. Joining her on the 2nd Team are Addison Reeves, Madi Rust, and Marin Copeland—a remarkable showing for the Bees. Aubrey Vanden Berge and Madelyne Parks earned Honorable Mention for their academic achievements.
On the boys’ side, Rob Harrison was named to the 1st Team, showcasing his all-around excellence. Gerald Slaby earned Honorable Mention, rounding out a strong academic showing for the Jackets.
The Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) determines Academic All-State honors based on a combination of GPA, class rank, and SAT/ACT scores. To be eligible, athletes must be graduating seniors in good standing, actively competing in their sport, and must demonstrate high academic standards. Being named to this elite group is a testament to the hard work and discipline these student-athletes bring to every area of their lives.
Ville Sports commends these young men and women for their accomplishments and the example they set for future Jackets and Honeybees. Balancing athletics and academics at this level is no easy feat, and these seniors have done it with excellence.
