NEW ORLEANS, LA -- Three Texas A&M track and field athletes were honored by being named to the All-Academic team through the United States Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association.

Elizabeth Adeoti and Jessica Wingfield were selected to the women’s team while Tyler Custis represented A&M on the men’s team.

To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic track and field team, an athlete must have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.25 and obtain an NCAA automatic or provisional qualifying mark for the most recent indoor championships or an outdoor regional qualifying mark in their respective event.
