San Antonio – The Tiger men's and women's track & field teams have both earned All-Academic status from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

To earn the distinction, track & field programs must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.10 or better (on a 4.0 scale) during the academic year.  A total of 137 women's teams qualified, while just 74 men's teams were honored for 2011-12.

Additionally, two Trinity women earned individual All-Academic honors this past season.  Rosemary Steup and Corey Callahan were two of just seven honored in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Qualifying individually requires a GPA of 3.30 or better, and either participation in the NCAA Indoor or Outdoor Championships, or a ranking in the top 35 nationally in an individual event.

Trinity's track & field teams were led by Head Coach David Svoboda during the 2011-12 season, but resigned his position in May.  Marcus Whitehead, who served as assistant coach last year, has since taken over the head coaching duties, and will begin his first season at the helm of the Tigers in 2012-13.
