Empire 8 institutions SUNY Brockport, SUNY Geneseo, Nazareth University and Utica University were named 2024-25 NCAA Division III Men's Track & Field All-Academic Teams, announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
 
In order to qualify for All-Academic distinction, teams must adhere to the following standards below to qualify:
  • Cumulative team GPA (not 2024-25 academic year, not semester) of all student-athletes who used a season of eligibility must be at least a 3.1 on a 4.0 scale through the most recent semester/quarter, computed by the following method:
  • Total the cumulative number of semester hours or quarter hours earned for all student-athletes who used a season of eligibility, including the most recent grading period;
  • Total the cumulative number of quality points (GPA multiplied by the number of credit hours) earned by all student-athletes who used a season of eligibility, including the most recent grading period;
  • Divide the cumulative number of quality points earned by the cumulative number of semester or quarter hours earned.
  • Institutions utilizing a different GPA scale than 4.0 then must convert the GPA to a 4.0 scale using the standard conversion method [GPA/Scale x 4.0]. Data must be certifiable by the institution’s registrar.
  • Graduate students must take all undergraduate plus graduate coursework into account.
SUNY Geneseo led all E8 institutions with a team GPA of 3.32, while Nazareth was right behind with a 3.31 mark to qualify. SUNY Brockport (3.24 team GPA), along with Utica (3.12 GPA) also earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Team accolades.
