Boulton has been named to the Academic All-State team, as well as to the Class 1A All-District Team.

The academic honor went to 59 players from all classes of Iowa girls basketball.

The all-district honors are for the Southeast District of the Association’s jurisdiction.

Members of the all-district team include:
