NEW ORLEANS – The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released its annual academic awards Friday, with UIndy garnering multiple team and individual accolades. Both the Greyhound men's and women's teams earned All-Academic Team status, while nine Greyhounds nabbed All-Academic honors as individuals, including Katrinia Hopkins and her 4.0 grade point average.
 
Both UIndy squads maintained the minimum 3.00 cumulative team GPA to be considered for the award. The UIndy women compiled a 3.47 team GPA as one of 149 Division II women's teams on the list, while the Greyhound men's 3.15 team GPA put them among 114 men's squads to be recognized.
 
Meanwhile, individual honorees needed a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 while also achieving an automatic or provisional qualifying mark (individual or relay event) for the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Hopkins was one of just 32 female DII student-athletes to meet the individual criteria and also holding down a perfect 4.0. Other Greyhounds to make the cut were Lauren Bailey, Brittney Clark, Berenice Cleyet-Merle, Keri Ertel, Lauren Joseph, Yailene Leon and Megan Young, as well as UIndy's lone male honoree, Brian Sales.
