Gandolfi becomes fourth woman in program history to earn prestigious honor
BOZEMAN, Mont. --- Montana State track & field's Giulia Gandolfi was named a College Sports Communicators (CSC) Third-Team Academic All-American following an impressive 2025-26 campaign on the track and in the classroom, the organization announced on Wednesday.
Gandolfi joined Lucy Corbett (2022, 2023), Carley McCutchen (2015), and Elisabeth Driscoll (2008, 2009) as one of just four Bobcat women's track & field athletes to receive the award. She is also the first women's sprinter in program history to earn CSC Academic All-America honors.
Gandolfi graduated from Montana State with bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Economics this spring, concluding her academic career with an impressive 3.98 GPA. She enjoyed an impressive senior season that saw her earn Honorable Mention All-America honors with her 21st-place result in the 4x400m relay at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, along with a Big Sky title in the 4x400m during the indoor and outdoor seasons. A Big Sky silver medalist in the 400m hurdles outdoors and a bronze medalist in the 400m indoors, Gandolfi helped reset the 4x400m school record three times during the outdoor season after toppling the program record indoors earlier in the year. Gandolfi competed in the 400m hurdles and the 4x400m relay at the NCAA West Regionals while advancing to the national championship meet in Eugene, Ore., as part of the 4x400m relay squad. She capped off her career with back-to-back Honorable Mention All-America honors in the 4x400m, two Big Sky titles, 10 all-conference performances, 14 appearances on the Montana State all-time top-10 list, eight appearances on the Big Sky all-time top-10 list, and a conference record in the indoor 4x400m.
Gandolfi was one of 45 women's track & field student-athletes nationally selected as a CSC Academic All-American for the 2025-26 season, including one of 14 selected to the Third Team. The prestigious honor marks the first of her career.
