Wildcat Women’s Track and Field Earns Team and Individual Academic Honors
NEW ORLEANS – Davidson women’s track and field earned All-Academic Team status from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Association (USTFCCCA), announced Thursday.
The Wildcats recorded a cumulative team GPA of 3.56, ranking among the top 60 Division I women’s track and field programs in the country. Unique to the USTFCCCA process, the list is generated by all scholar-athletes cumulative grade point averages for their collegiate careers, not just the season or most recent semester completed.
Additionally, junior Anna Davis was named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Athletes list for the outdoor season. Davis made the grade for having a GPA north of 3.25, while also competing at the NCAA championship level. She reset the program record in the 400-meter hurdles six times and took second at the Atlantic 10 Championship.
Adding to the dominance in the classroom and on the track, senior Eleni Daughters made her second consecutive Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team for the 2021 outdoor season.
The 2020-21 squad makes it six straight All-Academic Team nods for Davidson, a run that began in 2016.
