Thirteen Earn Track & Field/Cross Country Capital One Academic All-District Honors

BAY CITY, Mich. -- Thirteen Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) cross country and track and field student-athletes earned Capital One Academic All-District® honors during the 2014-15 academic year. Malone led the GLIAC with four selections, while Grand Valley State added three. The list included seven women and six men from the league.

The 2014-15 Capital One Academic All-District® Track & Field/Cross Country Teams, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America, have been released to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.

The Academic All-District® teams include the student-athletes listed on the following pages and are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the fourth year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America ® Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.



The Capital One Division II and III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2014-15 DII and DIII Academic All-America® teams program.

First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be announced in June after the 2015 CoSIDA Convention.
