NEW ORLEANS – Academic recognition continues to roll in for the Hilltoppers as Director of Cross Country/Track & Field Brent Chumbley's squads were honored by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) for their combined efforts in the classroom and competition throughout the 2019-20 academic year, the organization announced Thursday.
"It's an example of the complete program here at WKU," Chumbley shared. "The support from our Student Athlete Success Center (SASC), especially Dianna Marshall, and the faculty at WKU makes all the difference. I am very proud of the effort from our student-athletes, especially after the challenges of the spring semester."
WKU's men's team owned a 3.19 collective GPA for the most recent school year while the Lady Toppers posted a 3.25 GPA.
In total, 199 men's teams and 264 women's programs posted a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better to earn 2019-20 USTFCCCA recognition.
The last time both the men's and women's units were recognized as All-Academic Teams by the USTFCCCA in the same season was 2013.
