Cross Country Teams Earn Academic Recognition
March 13, 2008
Baltimore, Md. - The Loyola men's and women's cross country teams were each selected as National All-Academic Teams by the USTFCCCA. The Greyhounds, who became eligible with a team score at the NCAA Regionals, earned the distinction with a cumulative GPA above the required 3.0.
In all, 158 Division I women's programs received the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honor. There are 325 teams in Division I that sponsor women's cross country. Of the 158 teams on the list, 35 of them had team GPAs over 3.50. South Florida, from the Big East Conference, led all schools with a team GPA of 3.78.
On the men's side, only 69 programs earned the team All-Academic honor - including two from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
