FARMVILLE, Va. – The Longwood men's and women's track teams were named All-Academic Teams by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association today.
Â
For both teams, it marks their first time earning the accolade, and the honor comes after the second year of full competition for both teams.
Â
The honor is reserved for teams that post a cumulative GPA above 3.0, including the most recent semester.
Â
For the Lancer women, they combined for a 3.50 team GPA to cap a strong year that also saw the cross country team earn USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honors in January.
Â
The Lancer men combined for a 3.32 team GPA, and, much like the women, saw it cap a strong season that also saw the men's cross country team garner USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honors in January.
Â
Both the men and women continued to build in their second year of competition this past spring, with
Sophie Farley earning the program's first All-Big South accolade at the Big South Track & Field Championships in the spring.
