SALT LAKE CITY - Four Utah track and field student-athletes were named to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Track and Field Team.
Alyssa Abbott, Josefin Berg, Chelsea DiGrazia and Shayla Houlihan represented Utah on the team. Berg finished 22nd in the hammer throw at the NCAA Championships, while DiGrazia (1,500), Abbott (1,500) and Houlihan (steeplechase) competed in the NCAA regional competition.
"This is a great honor for our kids," head coach Kyle Kepler said. "They are the true meaning of the word student-athlete and consistently represent the university in a first-class manner. I'm happy they can receive such a high honor."
To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Track and Field Team, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 and have met either the NCAA Division I Indoor automatic or provisional qualifying standard or the NCAA Division I Outdoor regional or national qualifying standard in their respective event.
