Men's Cross Country Wins in the Classroom

The Pomona-Pitzer Men’s Cross Country team has been recognized by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) for its academic excellence.

The USTFCCCA awarded the 2008 Men’s Cross Country program with All-Academic Team recognition.  This announcement comes just days after Pomona-Pitzer runners, Brendon Randall-Meyer and Torrey Olson, received individual All-Academic honors.

Receiving these team and individual awards help to shine a light on our cross country program.  They highlight the fact that our running program has struck an appropriate balance between academic and athletics, said head coach Tony Boston. 

To be eligible for USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honors, a team must have compiled a score at the NCAA Regional Meet and have a minimum team GPA of 3.10.   Of the 103 teams that met the noted criteria, Pomona-Pitzer was ranked first in the NCAA-West and tenth nationally.
