The Falcon women's cross country team has earned All-Academic honors from the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

For a team to be considered for the USTFCCCA All-Academic team award, they must have competed and compiled a team score at an NCAA Regional meet. The team must also have a minimum 3.10 team cumulative grade point average.

The Falcons placed 13th of 43 teams at the NCAA Midwest Regional held on Nov. 15 in Rock Island, Ill. UWRF compiled a 3.21 team grade point average.

Forty percent of all Division III institutions (394) who sponsor women's cross country received the honor. In addition, 30 of the 32 teams in the championship field at this year's NCAA Div. III cross country championships were named USTFCCCA All-Academic teams, including every team who finished in the top ten.

The Falcon co-coaches are Keven Syverson and Scott Sekelsky.
