July 26, 2018 | Track & Field
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Fourteen Mississippi State track and field student-athletes received USTFCCCA All-Academic recognition on Thursday morning. To be eligible, athletes must have completed two semesters and hold a minimum GPA of 3.25.
Athletically, nominees needed to have been among the Top 96 in their event in the indoor season or have participated in the NCAA Prelims or Championships in the outdoor season.
"We all have the same goal for our student-athletes, to graduate and leave a better athlete than they came," head coach Steve Dudley said. "We try to inject that into the attitudes and personalities of our kids. I'm very proud of what they have accomplished this year, both on the track and in the classroom to be recognized."
Four of the Bulldogs' selections earned honors for both seasons, including Charles Brockman III, Karson Kowalchuk, Alon Lewis and Rhianwedd Price-Weimer.
SEC high jump champion Logan Boss, who earlier this year received a Women's Enhancement postgraduate scholarship from the NCAA, boasted the highest GPA among the Bulldog women who were selected.
Nicolas Quijera, the NCAA Runner-Up in the javelin and SEC Co-Scholar-Athlete of the Year, held the highest GPA on the men's side.
Daniel Nixon (800m), Aaron Phelps (distance medley relay), Charlotte Cayton-Smith (800m), Tiffany Flynn (triple jump) and Mia Meydrich (mile, distance medley relay) were honored for their accomplishments in the indoor season.
MSU's outdoor selections included, Malcum Tatum (400m hurdles), Stephanie Peterson (10,000m) and Riley White (4x400m relay).
