NEW ORLEANS – The No. 5 Arkansas men’s cross country team was named one of the top scholarly programs in the country by the USTFCCCA for posting a cumulative team GPA of 3.16. Arkansas was one of 189 teams to receive the All-Academic Team acknowledgment.
Upperclassmen Alex George and Aidan Swain picked up individual accolades for their efforts in classroom as well as athletic accomplishments as both were named to the student-athlete All-Academic Team. In addition to racing to All-America status last season, George also managed to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.43 in psychology. Swain collected All-Region recognition this past fall while working to a solid 3.25 GPA in kinesiology (pre-med preparation).
