NEW ORLEANS, La. - The United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association named the Delta State University Cross Country program one its 2013 Scholar-Athlete Teams after the team amassed a cummulative grade point average of 3.51 this season and in the process four Lady Statesmen were named USTFCCCA All-Academic Team.

After another impressvive year on the course for head coach Doug Pinkerton, as Stacey Hagenson (Jr. | Poplarville, Miss.), Annalee Pierce (Jr. | Yazoo City, Miss.), Alyssa Shetley (Jr. | Salem, Ill.) and Tressa Lamb (Jr. | Arkabutla, Miss.) were all named to All-Academic by the USTFCCCA.  It's the second-straight year DSU has placed at least four runners on the team.  

"I can't say enough about the level of dedication the ladies put into the classroom and on the course," Pinkerton said.  "We had another quality season this year and to see the ladies work in the classroom being honored is thrilling for a coach."
 
A total of 127 institutions represent 23 conferences that compose the group. The PSAC claimed 15 squads on the All-Academic list to lead all conferences. The Northeast-10 followed with 12.  The Gulf South Conference placed four teams on the list as well.  DSU's four Acaemic All-Americans also tied the University of West Georgia for the most in the GSC.  

To qualify as a USTFCCCA All-Academic Cross Country Team, the team must have had a cumulative team GPA of 3.00 or better and have compiled a team score at their respective NCAA regional championship. It's the third-straight season the Lady Statesmen have earned this prestigous honor.  

A total of 345 student-athletes represent the 126 institutions that compose the group. (School, conf leaders)

Sixteen of the top 25 finishers from the NCAA Cross Country Championships in the fall earned All-Academic honors. Thirty-eight on the All-Academic list have a cumulative GPA of 4.0 through the 2012 fall semester.

To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Track and Field Team in Division II, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or greater through the most-recent semester, completed at least 12 credit hours in the semester of cross country competition, and placed in the top 50 percent at the most recent NCAA National Championships or in the top 30 percent at the NCAA Regional Championships.
