Track & Field Collects USTFCCCA Academic All-America Honors

LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced their annual All-Academic Teams and Athletes on Monday afternoon, featuring the UNLV track & field team on both lists. Both sets of honors come through head coach Carmelita Jeter's third season in the 2025-26 academic year, picking up another set of academic accolades in the offseason.

As a team, the Rebels put together a 3.48 cumulative GPA for their NCAA Squad List for the second straight season, eclipsing the 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale requirement by the organization.

Individually, the Rebels tabbed six student-athletes as USTFCCCA All-Academic Athletes, marking the third straight season that UNLV has been featured with multiple student-athletes on the list. Of the student-athletes mentioned are Gabby Goodgames (Psychology), Krishna Jayasankar (Masters of Higher Education), AnnaKay Maitland (Management), Amaya Mitchell-Howard (Interdisciplinary Studies), Kaitlynn Webbe (Kinesiology) and Jaci Wright (Journalism and Media Studies). Jayasankar claimed her second major academic award after being named the CSC Academic All-District list earlier this summer.

In order to qualify individually, student-athletes must have maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale, as well as completing at least two semesters or three quarters at their nominating institution. They also were required to meet some athletic marks as well in order to qualify for the honor, picking up the mark during either the indoor or outdoor season. During the indoor season, student-athletes needed to finish the season ranked in the top 96 in any event or in the top 48 in any championship relay. During the outdoor season, they must have finished in the top 48 in the East or West Region and have participated in any of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Both season's rankings had to be verified via TFRRS.
