USTFCCCA Release

NEW ORLEANS – The St. Scholastica women's track & field team was selected as a U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division III All-Academic Team with the 11th best team grade-point-average of any NCAA affiliated school; it was announced on Tuesday by USTFCCCA Communications Manager Tom Lewis.

The Saints earned a team GPA of 3.55, which ranked seventh in all of Division III. If you had Division II schools, CSS was ninth and then 11th once you include Division I schools.

A total of 106 Division III schools received the honor. To receive the distinction a team must have a GPA of 3.1 or higher. The University of Minnesota-Morris was the other Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) to be named an all-academic team.

Last week, CSS sophomore #Alec Seeley# (So.-Cadott, Wis.) was named to the USTFCCCA Division III All-Academic Track & Field team. Seeley is one 330 track & field athletes, representing 99 NCAA Division III institutions, receiving such accolades.
