BEVERLY, Mass. — The Endicott women's track and field program has been named to the 2022 U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team list, as announced by the association on Wednesday.
Among the 150 schools honored by the USTFCCCA, Endicott ranked No. 18 overall in the country, No. 5 in New England, and No. 1 in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) behind a program record 3.71 cumulative grade point average (GPA).
This is the team's fourth USTFCCCA All-Academic Team Award since the program began in 2018.
USTFCCCA All-Academic Team Award criteria:
- Cumulative team GPA (not 2021-22 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.
YEAR IN REVIEW
Endicott placed second overall at the CCC Championship behind 10 All-Conference performances to earn its highest ranking ever at the conference championship meet in the five-year history of the program.
The Gulls also won the CCC Team Sportsmanship Award for the fourth straight season (2018-19, 2021-22). Endicott is the only program in CCC Women's Track and Field history to earn the Team Sportsmanship Award, which comes with great pride as winning the award is a point of emphasis for the program.
At NCAA Regionals, the Gulls scored points for the first time in program history and broke two school records. For the latest on Endicott Athletics, follow the Gulls on social media on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.
