(March 3, 2021) Mena, Arkansas - The NJCAA Cross Country Coaches Association recently released their individual and team Academic All-American listings with five Bucks athletes making the list. To be named an Individual Academic All-American, a student-athlete must be enrolled as a full-time student and complete the Fall semester with a 3.4 GPA or higher. To qualify as a team, there must be 5 nominations per team that averages a 3.2 GPA. The individuals and team must be nominated by their coach, who must be a member of the coaches' association. Coach Shores could not be prouder of her trio of athletes. "This is the third year in a row to have at least 3 athletes on the Academic All-American list. We ask a lot out of our student-athletes daily. This group not only excelled on the course and in training, but they got it done in the classroom as well. I'm extremely proud of their efforts."
