NEW ORLEANS, La. – The United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association of America (USTFCCCA) announced its 2025 Division II Men’s and Women’s Track & Field All-Academic Athletes and Teams on Monday.
On the men’s side, the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference is represented by 72 student-athletes from 10 institutions, including Adams State, Black Hills State, Colorado School of Mines, Colorado Christian, Colorado Mesa, CSU Pueblo, MSU Denver, South Dakota Mines, UCCS, and Western Colorado. Leading the conference, Colorado School of Mines had an impressive 20 student-athletes earn All-Academic honors. Additionally, each of the following schools earned a spot on the USTFCCCA DII All-Academic Teams: Black Hills State (3.23 GPA), Colorado School of Mines (3.541), Colorado Christian (3.03), Colorado Mesa (3.44), CSU Pueblo (3.442), MSU Denver (3.099), South Dakota Mines (3.168), UCCS (3.257), and Western Colorado (3.38).
On the women’s side, another 72 student-athletes from across the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference earned All-Academic honors, representing Adams State, Black Hills State, Colorado School of Mines, Colorado Christian, Colorado Mesa, CSU Pueblo, MSU Denver, UCCS, and Western Colorado. Once again, Colorado School of Mines led the way with 20 student-athletes named to the All-Academic team. The following institutions were recognized on the USTFCCCA DII All-Academic Teams: Adams State (3.09 GPA), Black Hills State (3.57), Colorado School of Mines (3.37), Colorado Mesa (3.54), CSU Pueblo (3.442/3.577), MSU Denver (3.362), South Dakota Mines (3.606), UCCS (3.482), and Western Colorado (3.47).
To be eligible for All-Academic honors, student-athletes must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale through the end of the semester of competition. Institutions using a different GPA scale must convert it to a 4.0 scale using the standard conversion method.
Additionally, student-athletes must have been academically eligible at the National Championships during the season in which their athletic mark was achieved. Athletes must have finished the season ranked among the top 50 individuals on the TFRRS descending order list, or must have competed at either the Indoor or Outdoor National Championships to be considered. For relay events, athletes must have competed as a member of one of the top 35 relay teams listed on the TFRRS descending order list. However, athletes from relay teams not in the top 35 are also eligible if they competed at the Indoor or Outdoor National Championships, or if they were part of a relay team included on an expanded descending order list that includes one relay team per institution (up to 35 institutions). Transfer and graduate students are required to include only the grades earned at their current nominating institution.
To be eligible for All-Academic Team honors, an institution must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale for all student-athletes listed on its NCAA Squad List for Indoor and/or Outdoor Track & Field.
