and field teams, along with seven individuals, earned All-Academic honors from the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).<br>
<br>
As a team, Baylor was recognized on both sides, while four men and three women were honored individually for their combined work in the classroom and in competitions.<br>
<br>
For the men, senior Ryan Croson, junior Jalen Seals and sophomores Riley Richards and Reese Sarnowski received the All-Academic individual title.<br>
<br>
On the women’s side, juniors Tuesdi Tidwell and Sydney Washington, along with freshman Mackenzie Hayward, each earned the accolade.<br>
<br>
As a team, the women were one of 264 different programs to receive recognition, sporting a 3.70 overall team GPA. The men recorded a 3.48 combined mark, becoming one of 199 teams honored with All-Academic status.<br>
<br>
To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Track & Field Team, a student-athlete must have compiled a grade point average of at least 3.25 and have finished the regular season ranked in the national top 96 in an individual event or in the top 48 in a relay event
on the official NCAA order list provided by TFRRS.org.<br>
