NEW ORLEANS – Both the men's and women's teams for WKU Track & Field were named USTFCCCA All-Academic Teams for the 2020-21 school year.
In both seasons Director of Cross Country/Track & Field Brent Chumbley has led the WKU Track & Field program, both squads have made the distinguished academic list.
"Here at WKU, we pride ourselves on succeeding in our events and in the classroom," said Chumbley. "In a year where we faced a lot of challenges, I am very proud of the efforts put forth by our student-athletes, both athletically and academically."
This is the seventh time a WKU women's track & field squad has earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Honors. The legacy dates back to 2006 while also earning the accolade in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2019 and 2020. The women's side held a cumulative school year GPA of 3.45.
The 2021 honor marks the third time the WKU men have picked up the All-Academic Team title. The Hilltoppers also earned it in 2013 and 2020, holding a 3.03 team GPA for 2021.
This is just the third time in program history that both the men's and women's squads have been named USTFCCCA All-Academic Teams as it also occurred in 2013 and 2020.
