NEW ORLEANS, La. – The All-Academic Teams for the 2019 NCAA Division I Cross Country season were announced on Thursday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), and USC Upstate's men's and women's cross country programs each earned All-Academic honors.
In order to qualify for All-Academic distinction, teams must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, including the most recent grading period. The women's squad boasted a 3.31 team-GPA while the men's team recorded a 3.01 team-GPA.
"We make goals at the beginning of every cross country season to have a team-GPA of above a 3.0," said head coach Carson Blackwelder. "They did a great job of putting in the work to meet that goal this season, and I am extremely proud of their efforts."
Overall, there were 237 women's teams and 191 men's teams that received All-Academic honors in NCAA Division I.
