NEW ORLEANS - The University of Toledo women's cross country program earned distinction by being named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team.

The Rockets were recognized for both compiling a 3.49 team GPA and placing sixth at the Great Lakes Regional meet in November. Only teams that competed and compiled a team score at an NCAA Regional Championship and also have a minimum 3.00 team cumulative GPA were considered for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team award.

Twenty-seven out of 30 girls on the team recorded above a 3.0 GPA, while three - Samantha Condron, Amanda Mannon and Danielle Thomas - earned a perfect 4.0 GPA. Two other student-athletes, Dagna Sztykiel and Lindsay Toussant, were honored in the fall as Academic All-MAC selections.

Overall, the Rockets had the second-highest GPA of the 12 MAC schools, the ninth-highest of the 34 teams in the region, and the 49th-highest in the nation out of 346 schools that sponsor Division I cross country.
