NEW ORLEANS, La. – Seven women's track & field teams and 25 student-athletes were honored on Monday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) with All-Academic recognition.
George Fox earned the most individual honors with twelve, while Pacific Lutheran named six to the list. Whitworth named four to the list, while Pacific (Ore.) earned two recognitions, and Linfield one.
All but two George Fox honorees were also named to the NWC Scholar-Athlete list in the 2019 season. Also included on the NWC Scholar-Athlete list among the USTFCCCA honorees are Linfield's Courtney Beard, Pacific's Jenna Hoiland, and PLU's Andraya Conger, Bailey Forsyth, Kelsey Hathaway, Vakeaemanu Hunkin, and Lauren Wilson. Whitworth's Marissa Mount was named to both the NWC Scholar-Athlete list and the Scholar-Athlete First Team, while teammates Isabel Clark, Kameha Medallada, and Kayla Rambo earned NWC Scholar-Athlete honors.
Those athletes who won individual NCAA titles ranked higher in the tiebreaking process and cumulative GPA is weighed as the final advantage.
Whitworth recorded the highest team GPA among women's track & field teams with a cumulative 3.67. Linfield recorded a 3.55, while George Fox sat just behind the Wildcats with a 3.54 cumulative GPA. Puget Sound was named to the list of team honorees with a 3.46, while PLU recorded a 3.44, and Willamette a 3.43. Lewis & Clark rounded out team honorees with a 3.32.
