DII Indoor USTFCCCA All-America Awards Announced
March 11, 2013

NEW ORLEANS – The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) has announced the 156 men and 150 women who have earned USTFCCCA All-America honors for the 2013 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field season based on their performances at the Indoor Track & Field Championships.

More Info: NCAA Scoring Summary | Final Week-by-Week Rankings

All-America honors were given to those who scored any portion of a team point in an event at the NCAA Championships. USTFCCCA membership by a program is required to earn All-America awards.

The Saint Augustine’s men claimed their 12th indoor title in program history – most in DII history – while the Academy of Art women won their first-ever title.

Supremacy in the sprints and hurdles led Saint Augustine’s to 72 team points for its first title since 2009, followed by runner-up Ashland with 59.50. The Falcons’ 72 points are the most for a winning team since Adams State scored 89 in 2010.

Saint Augustine’s and Ashland each had a student-athlete earn three All-America honors in Josh Edmonds and Keith Cleveland, respectively. In addition, 26 other student-athletes earned two honors. Though Ashland fell short in the final standings, the Eagles boast the most multiple honorees (five) and total honorees (18). Saint Augustine’s had four multiple-time winners and tied with Grand Valley State for second in total awards with 16.

The jumps, sprints and hurdles were key to Academy of Art scoring 59 points and holding off runner-up Lincoln (Mo.), which accrued 48½ points. Senior Vashti Thomas contributed 35 points to the Urban Knights’ winning effort. Two-time defending champion Grand Valley finished fourth with 41 points.

Thomas led the way with five All-America honors, while four others – Michaela Kane and Helen Crofts of Simon Fraser, Danielle Williams of Johnson C. Smith and Reyare Thomas of Abilene Christian – earned three awards apiece. Winning two awards apiece were 24 other student-athletes.

Simon Fraser and Lincoln (Mo.) were each represented by two three-time honorees. With 13 awards, Academy of Art had the most, while Lincoln finished with 12 and Grand Valley State and Simon Fraser each had 10.

The GLIAC boasted the most men’s awards with 46, followed by the CIAA (25), the Northeast-10 (22) and the RMAC (20). On the women’s side the GLIAC with 29 just edged out the GNAC (25), PacWest (23) and NSIC (21).
