MOBILE, Ala. – Seven South Alabama Track and Field athletes were named to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I All-Academic Team, the association announced recently.
Five men and two women received All-Academic honors for their success in the classroom during the past indoor and outdoor seasons. On the men's side,
Reuben Booysen,
Jackson Laughlin,
Sebastian Loschner,
Kyle Rademeyer, and
Kendal White received the honor. On the women's side,
Ava Grace Wheaton and
Flora Dupans earned the award.
To be selected as a USTFCCCA All-Academic Athlete, student-athletes must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.25 on a 4.0 scale, including the most recent grading period, certifiable by either the NCAA Faculty Representative, NCAA Compliance Coordinator, or the Registrar's Office.
Loschner and Rademeyer received recognition for the indoor season, having finished the season ranked in the top 96 in any championship individual event, or the top 48 in any championship relay event, according to final season performance lists on TFRRS for Indoor Track and Field (including performances achieved outside the qualifying window during the indoor season).
The remaining athletes qualified during the outdoor season after participating in any round of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships (either the Preliminary Championship Competition and/or the Final Championship Competition). For multi-event athletes, qualification required a final season ranking in the top 48 in the East or top 48 in the West region for the most recent outdoor season.
