TALLAHASSEE, Fla.| The Florida A&M University Women's Track & Field team was recognized as a 2020 NCAA Division I Track & Field All-Academic Team by the U.S Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on July 16.
The Florida A&M Women's Track & Field program posted a cumulative grade point average of 3.27, highlighting an exceptional academic year for the Lady Ratters.
The Rattlers' grade point average was the highest among the five Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) women's track & field programs to earn All-Academic honors.
FAMU was also one of 264 women's teams to be selected.
Here's the criteria for being named an All-Academic Team.

• The cumulative GPA (not 2018-19 academic year, not semester) for all student-athletes on the institution's NCAA Squad List for Indoor and/or Outdoor Track and Field must be 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, including the most recent grading period, certifiable by either NCAA Faculty Rep or NCAA Compliance Coordinator or Registrar's Office. Institutions utilizing a different GPA scale must convert the GPA to a 4.0 scale using the standard conversion method [GPA/Scale x 4.0].
• The cumulative GPA of all student-athletes on the institution's NCAA Squad List for Indoor and/or Outdoor Track and Field must be computed by the following method:

1. Total the cumulative number of semester hours or quarter hours earned for all student-athletes on the NCAA Squad List, including the most recent grading period;
2. Total the cumulative number of quality points (GPA multiplied by the number of credit hours) earned by all student-athletes on the NCAA Squad List, including the most recent grading period;
3. Divide the cumulative number of quality points earned by the cumulative number of semester or quarter hours earned.
