NEW ORLEANS — Another stellar year in the classroom for Columbia Track & Field has led to both the women's and men's teams earning U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team Honors, as announced by the USTFCCCA on Thursday, July 22.
The women's team finished with a GPA 3.51, while the men collected a GPA of 3.5, allowing both squads to meet the crieta set by the USTFCCCA.
For teams to earn the award their cumulative GPA (not 2020-21 academic year, not semester) for all student-athletes on the institution's NCAA Squad List for Indoor and/or Outdoor Track and Field must be 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, including the most recent grading period, certifiable by either NCAA Faculty Rep or NCAA Compliance Coordinator or Registrar's Office. Institutions utilizing a different GPA scale must convert the GPA to a 4.0 scale using the standard conversion method [GPA/Scale x 4.0].
