Tampa Places Four Runners on Academic All-District Team
McLEAN, Va. - The University of Tampa cross country team had four student-athletes named to the 2013 Capital One Academic All-District® Track and Field/Cross Country Teams, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
The men's team had three honorees, including Mike Leone, Lewis Price and Mike Zwijacz. The women's team had Christa McLeod as an honoree.
The Academic All-District® teams include the student-athletes listed on the following pages and are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the first year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA moves from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) and doubles the number of scholar-athletes honored. The teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.
The Capital One Division II and III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2011-12 DII and DIII Academic All-America® teams program.
First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first, second and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
