Four UMBC Track and Field Athletes Named to America East All-Academic Team

3/5/2008


Senior Aaron James has been named to the All-Academic squad for the past three years.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Four student-athletes from the UMBC track and field teams have been named to the 2007-08 America East Indoor Track and Field All-Academic Teams, the conference announced Wednesday.

 

Senior Aaron James (Glen Dale, Md./Duval) highlights the Retriever honorees with his third selection, since the teams were instituted during the 2005-06 season.  He is joined on the men’s squad by sophomore Mike Buccheri (Hazlet, N.J./Raritan/Monmouth) and junior Cliff Bridges (Raleigh, N.C./William G. Enloe).

 

James finished second in the 55-meter hurdles at this year’s conference championship meet, while Buccheri earned bronze in the heptathlon and Bridges finished third in the triple jump.

 

On the women’s side, the Retrievers had just one athlete recognized as junior Alex Hyland (Toms River, N.J./Toms River South/St. Francis (Pa.)) earned the nod after claiming bronze in the 5000-meter run at the conference meet last month.

 

Each All-Academic Team has been selected based on the student-athlete’s academic and athletic accomplishments. Academic achievement for consideration requires student-athletes to have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 entering the season. Athletic accomplishment standards vary between team sports and individual sports. For track & field, student-athletes are required to be a top-three finisher at the conference championship meet. Team size for individual sports is determined by the number of all-conference honorees who possess the minimum academic requirement. Freshman are not eligible for the All-Academic Team.
