2021 NCAA Division III Women’s Track & Field All-Academic Teams
NEW ORLEANS – The Scholar Team of the Year and All-Academic Teams for the 2021 NCAA Division III Women’s Track & Field seasons were announced on Thursday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Loras was named the NCAA Division III Women’s Outdoor Track & Field National Scholar Team of the Year after maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.412 and winning an epic battle for the national title in Greensboro, North Carolina. There wasn’t an NCAA Division III Women’s Indoor Track & Field National Scholar Team of the Year due to the cancellation of the NCAA Championships.
Each of the top-22 women’s programs from the 2021 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships qualified for All-Academic distinction from the USTFCCCA.
Pomona-Pitzer Colleges had the best cumulative GPA out of any NCAA Division III Women’s Program at 3.829, while Middlebury College and Bard College were right behind at 3.82.
Here is the criteria to be named an All-Academic Team:
Division III Track & Field All-Academic Teams
- Cumulative team GPA (not 2020-21 academic year, not semester) of all student-athletes who used a season of eligibility must be at least a 3.1 on a 4.0 scale through the most recent semester/quarter, computed by the following method:
- Total the cumulative number of semester hours or quarter hours earned for all student-athletes who used a season of eligibility, 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 who used a season of eligibility, including the most recent grading period;
- Divide the cumulative number of quality points earned by the cumulative number of semester or quarter hours earned.
- Institutions utilizing a different GPA scale than 4.0 then must convert the GPA to a 4.0 scale using the standard conversion method [GPA/Scale x 4.0]. Data must be certifiable by the institution’s registrar.
- Graduate students must take all undergraduate plus graduate coursework into account.
