PISCATAWAY, N.J. - The Rutgers men's cross country team was recognized for its efforts in the classroom as the Scarlet Knights were named a U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team for the 2015 season.
RU was among the 90 men's programs that earned All-Academic Team honors. To qualify for the honor, teams must carry at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average.
"Our 2015 cross country team had its best season in a few years, placing third at the Metropolitan Championships, 13th in the NCAA Regional and second in the IC4A University Championship race," said head coach Mike Mulqueen.
