MIAC track & field athletes earn USTFCCCA academic honors

NEW ORLEANS – The United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced its annual academic awards this week.

Nine men's teams and ten women's teams from the MIAC were recognized for their academic achievements as All-Academic Teams. To qualify for USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honors, programs must have met the following criteria:

  • Cumulative team GPA (not 2024-25 academic year, not semester) of all student-athletes who used a season of eligibility must be at least a 3.1 on a 4.0 scale through the most recent semester/quarter, computed by the following method:
  • Total the cumulative number of semester hours or quarter hours earned for all student-athletes who used a season of eligibility, including the most recent grading period;
  • Total the cumulative number of quality points (GPA multiplied by the number of credit hours) earned by all student-athletes who used a season of eligibility, including the most recent grading period;
  • Divide the cumulative number of quality points earned by the cumulative number of semester or quarter hours earned.
  • Institutions utilizing a different GPA scale than 4.0 then must convert the GPA to a 4.0 scale using the standard conversion method [GPA/Scale x 4.0]. Data must be certifiable by the institution’s registrar.
  • Graduate students must take all undergraduate plus graduate coursework into account.
