Four Bombers Earn National Academic Honors In Men's Track & Field
Four members of the men's track & field team have been named to the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team. The team honors athletes who have maintained a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.30 and posted an NCAA Championships qualifying mark during either the indoor or outdoor season. Senior Andrew Brown (Monmouth Regional/Tinton Falls, N.J.), juniors Kyle Devins (Ausable Valley/Peru) and Jeff Wetmore (Bemus Point/Maple Grove) and freshman Jeff Willis (Canastota/Canastota) were honored from Ithaca.
Wetmore missed all-America honors by one spot in the outdoor 200-meter dash. Devins recorded the nation's fourth-best mark in the long jump and 24th-best performance in the triple jump during the indoor season but missed the NCAA Championships with an injury. Brown and Willis both provisionally qualified for nationals in the indoor pole vault (Brown was also a provisional qualifier during the outdoor season).
