IRVING, Tx. – Marshall Athletics claimed Conference USA's Sport Academic Awards for tennis and track and field in the league's Tuesday release of the honors.
Tennis (3.799) and Track and Field (2.963) led the way in each of their respective sports for the 2018-19 academic year. Earlier this year, Anna Smith, Elizabeth Stefancic, and Victoria Walter were given the Commissioner's Academic Medal (3.75 GPA or better) while representing the tennis team, while Maryann Adebayo, Abigail Short and Takira Williams made the list from the track and field program.
The awards cap another impressive year for Marshall Athletics in the classroom as the department boasted six programs that posted perfect single-year APRs (2017-18) and nine squads that had multi-year rates equal to or higher than the national average.
