NEW ORLEANS, La. | The Alabama A&M University women's track and field team earned All-Academic Team honors by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Thursday.
 
"I am extremely proud of our student-athletes and this outstanding academic honor," Alabama A&M head track and field coach Andrew Murphy said. "These student-athletes work hard during practices and competitions, and it is good to see the success they've had inside the classroom."
 
The Bulldog women's program boasted a 3.31 GPA and was the lone Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) member to earn academic honors.
 
The criteria for a team to be named an NCAA Division I All-Academic team are:
 

• The cumulative GPA (not 2023-24 academic year, not semester) for all student-athletes on the institution's NCAA Squad List for Indoor and/or Outdoor Track and Field must be 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, including the most recent grading period, certifiable by either NCAA Faculty Rep or NCAA Compliance Coordinator or Registrar's Office. Institutions utilizing a different GPA scale must convert the GPA to a 4.0 scale using the standard conversion method [GPA/Scale x 4.0].
• The cumulative GPA of all student-athletes on the institution's NCAA Squad List for Indoor and/or Outdoor Track and Field must be computed by the following method:
• Total the cumulative number of semester hours or quarter hours earned for all student-athletes on the NCAA Squad List, including the most recent grading period;
• Total the cumulative number of quality points (GPA multiplied by the number of credit hours) earned by all student-athletes on the NCAA Squad List, including the most recent grading period;
• Divide the cumulative number of quality points earned by the cumulative number of semester or quarter hours earned.
