SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose State men's and women's track and field teams each earned academic honors from the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, the organization announced.
The women's team earned recognition with a 3.111 team GPA while the men's team earned the honor with a 3.086 collective GPA.
"I'm incredibly happy that both our men's and women's teams earned this honor," said head coach Kendra Reimer-Gonzales. "I'm so proud of our student-athletes for taking care of business in the classroom and staying focused on earning degrees from San José State University."
The Mountain West will announce its spring academic awards next week.
How the award is calculated -
- The cumulative GPA (not 2018-19 academic year, not semester) for all student-athletes on the institution's NCAA Squad List for Indoor and/or Outdoor Track and Field must be 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, including the most recent grading period, certifiable by either NCAA Faculty Rep or NCAA Compliance Coordinator or Registrar's Office. Institutions utilizing a different GPA scale must convert the GPA to a 4.0 scale using the standard conversion method [GPA/Scale x 4.0].
- The cumulative GPA of all student-athletes on the institution's NCAA Squad List for Indoor and/or Outdoor Track and Field must be computed by the following method:
- Total the cumulative number of semester hours or quarter hours earned for all student-athletes on the NCAA Squad List, 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 on the NCAA Squad List, including the most recent grading period;
- Divide the cumulative number of quality points earned by the cumulative number of semester or quarter hours earned.
