Florida A&M Women’s Track & Field Named 2021 NCAA All-Academic Team By USTFCCA

NEW ORLEANS, La. | The Florida A&M University women's track & field team was recognized as a 2021 NCAA Division I Track & Field All-Academic Team by the U.S Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Thursday. 
 
The FAMU women's track & field program, who also earned all-academic honors in 2020 with a cumulative team GPA of 3.27, raised its team GPA to 3.44 this season.
 
The Rattlers join Alabama State and Prairie View A&M as the only members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) to earn all-academic honors. 
 
Here is the criteria to be named an All-Academic Team:
  • The cumulative GPA (not 2020-21 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:
  • 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;
  • 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;
  • Divide the cumulative number of quality points earned by the cumulative number of semester or quarter hours earned.
