West Texas A&M swept top honors as Dylan Doss and Emma Love were recognized Friday when Lone Star Conference officials announced the league's cross country all-academic awards.
Doss repeated as the LSC Men's Academic Runner of the Year, while Love was tabbed LSC Women's Academic Runner of the Year. Both were voted to the LSC All-Academic team, which recognized 12 runners -- six men and six women -- for both academic and athletic achievement. To be eligible for the All-Academic team, student-athletes must maintain a 3.30 cumulative grade point average. The All-Academic teams are voted upon by the league's sports information directors.
Doss was joined by A&M-Commerce’s Dorian McCradic, Angelo State’s Dylan Littlejohn, Jamin Goecker, and Tomas Callejas, and Tarleton State’s Tye Doty on the men's All-Academic team. In addition to Doss, Littlejohn and Doty were honored for the second straight year.
Love led the women's All-Academic team, which included Lady Buff teammate Mireia Guarner, Eastern New Mexico’s Beth Blind, Midwestern State’s Ashley Flores and
Michelle Krezonoski, and A&M-C’s Caroline Cotsakis. Flores and Cotsakis were repeat selections.
All the runners will compete in the LSC Cross Country Championships this Saturday, October 26, in Portales, NM.
