USTFCCCA Release

NEW ORLEANS -- Allegheny College track and field collected numerous academic awards from the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), as announced on Monday afternoon.

Both teams were recognized as All-Academic Teams, which requires a cumulative GPA of at least 3.10. Allegheny was one of 165 Division III institutions and one of only five Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) members to have both its men's and women's teams recognized.

Additionally, the USTFCCCA highlighted six Gators as All-Academic Athletes: Angelee Bawek (Goodyear, Ariz./Estrella Foothills), Chloe Bonson (Penn Township, Pa./Penn-Trafford), Celia Cocca (East Aurora, N.Y./East Aurora), Laila Davis (Springfield, N.J./Jonathan Dayton), Corinne Inkley (Randolph, N.Y./Randolph Central), and Nelly Stafford (Middletown, Md./Middletown). Davis and Inkley were named All-Academic Athletes for the second time in as many years.

To qualify for USTFCCCA All-Academic honors, a student-athlete must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.30 and meet one of the following athletic criteria:

• Must have finished the season among the top 50 individuals as listed on the descending order lists on TFRRS. In addition, any athletes not among the top 50, but who participated at the Indoor or Outdoor National Championships, are eligible.
