NEW ORLEANS, LA - The United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) has released it's list of 2025 Division III Track and Field All-Academic honorees and All-Academic Teams. Both the Utica men's and women's track and field programs received All-Academic Team status, while four Pioneer standouts received individual honors.
 
For the team portion of the award, each All-Academic Team recipient saw the cumulative team GPA exceed a 3.10 - an excellent team-wide achievement that encompassed all athletes who used a season of eligibility. For this part of the USTFCCCA's academic awards, both Pioneer teams exceeded the 3.10 threshold and thus received the prestigious honor.
 
For the individual portion of the award, not only did athletes have to rank as one of the best in the country at a specific event, but they also had to achieve great success in the classroom as well. Each athlete who received All-Academic status had to post a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.30. In addition, athletes had to finish among the top 50 individuals in a given event to receive recognition. Below are the four Pioneer all-stars who managed to meet the criteria:
