NEW ORLEANS – The Anderson University men's and women's track and field squads each earned All-Academic Team accolades from the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), as announced by the organization, Thursday afternoon.
The Trojans were among a group of 149 women's squads and 114 men's teams that earned USTFCCCA All-Academic honors during the abbreviated 2019-20 track & field seasons. Joining the Trojans from the South Atlantic Conference were four other track and field squads from around the league who were named to the prestigious list, representing Carson-Newman, Lincoln Memorial, Queens and Wingate.
In order to claim the coveted honor, the cumulative GPA for all student-athletes on the institution's NCAA Squad List for Indoor and/or Outdoor Track and Field must be 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
The Trojan women's squad, which took home the Dr. Shirley Jacks Award last semester for the highest departmental GPA, compiled a cumulative 3.66 GPA for the academic year, while the Trojan men posted a 3.35 GPA.
