NEW ORLEANS, LA. - The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced the annual NCAA All-Academic honors for the Cross Country season on Feb. 9. Both the men's and women's cross country teams earned All-Academic honors based on the cumulative team grade point average.
