AMES, Iowa – Three members of the Iowa State women's basketball team have been earned College Sports Communicators Academic All-District honors for the 2025-26 season. Arianna Jackson is a repeat honoree from 2024-25 while Kenzie Hare and Sydney Harris earn their first academic all-district nods.
The award recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. Student-athletes must have a 3.5 cumulative GPA and the proper athletic accomplishments to make the ballot.
Jackson averaged 6.8 points per game this season as one of the nation's top 3-point shooters. She finished the season with 61 triples and shooting nearly 44 percent from beyond the arc. The Des Moines native started 29 contests for ISU and averaged 28.6 minutes per game. She was named the Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year and is a Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll member. Jackson is studying business management at Iowa State.
Hare played in all 32 games for Iowa State while making 31 starts, returning to the court following season-ending surgery a year ago. She averaged 6.0 points while shooting 40 percent from 3-point range. The shooting guard knocked down a season-high five 3-pointers at BYU (Feb. 10) and tallied a career-high five steals at Cincinnati (Jan. 7). Hare is a Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll member and is majoring in liberal studies.
Harris finished with the fifth-best all-time 3-point percentage (min. 100 attempts) at Iowa State, going 107-for-256 (.418) from the 3-point line in her two years as a Cyclone. She finished her senior season with 46 triples and averaged 6.3 points per game in 32 games played. Harris will graduate from Iowa State this spring with a degree in psychology.
