LAKELAND, Fla. – Five Florida Southern College women’s cross country and track student-athletes were named to the 2022-23 College Sports Communicators (CSC), formerly CoSIDA, Women’s Track and Field/Cross Country Academic All-District, when the association released the teams on Wednesday (May 31). The Moccasins saw Ellie Fluman, Marisa Kortright, Emma Mussante, Emery Roth and Carolina Titus receive the honor.

Kortright is a Fleming Island High School graduate. Mussante graduated from Middleburg High School.

Kortright, a 2021 USTFCCCA All-Academic Athlete as well as 2021 Second Team All-SSC performer in cross country, saw action in three regular season cross country meets while also competing at the 2022 SSC Championship. The Middleburg, Fla. native is pursuing a degree in psychology at Florida Southern.

Mussante had a tremendous 2022-23 campaign as she led both the cross country and track teams this season. During the cross country campaign, she earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Athlete distinction while being named Second Team All-SSC. During the outdoor track season, she broke the program’s 5,000m record while posting the top time for the Mocs in three separate events. The sophomore competed in three regular season cross country meets while also seeing action at the SSC Championship and NCAA South Region Championship. She posted the top 5K time of the season for the Mocs at the Royals Cross Country Challenge while stopping the clock at 18:24.3. She then went on to compete in all eight outdoor meets for the Mocs while running the 800m, 1,500m and 5,000m. She posted the top times for the Mocs in all three events including her time of 2:21.69 in the 800m at the East Coast Relays, her mark of 4:45.22 in the 1,500m at the ERAU Spikes Classic and her school record performance in the 5,000m at the River City Relays of 17:24.37. She is currently working on her degree in psychology.

Fluman, from St. Augustine, earns her second career CSC Academic All-District honor after earning the distinction following the 2021-22 season. The junior is also a two-time USTFCCCA All-Academic Athlete selection as well.

Roth, from Atlanta, and a 2021 USTFCCCA All-Academic Athlete, saw action in three regular season cross country meets while also competing at the SSC Championship. Titus, out of Sarasota, repeats as a CSC Academic All-District selection after earning the distinction following the 2021-22 season. The junior, who primarily focuses on track, was the lone Moccasin to compete in the steeplechase, an event she holds the school record in.
