CLEVELAND ? A total of 62 student-athletes were named to the 2009 Academic All-MAC Outdoor Track and Field men’s and women’s teams today as voted by the league’s faculty athletic representatives.
The total team members reflect the same number of all-conference selections or one-third of the nominees, whichever is greater. For the women’s team that translated to 33 selections, but was increased to 39 due to a tie in the voting. The men’s team had 23 honorees.
Akron had the most selections for the women’s team with seven honorees while Central Michigan topped the men’s list with five selections.
To be nominated, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.2 cumulative GPA and have participated in at least 50 percent of the contests for that particular sport. First year students and junior college transfers in their first year of residence are not eligible for the ward. Outstanding academic and athletic accomplishments for the current season only are considered.
