BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - A total of 15 Hoosiers have been named All-Academic honorees for track and field by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Nine women and six men were honored, and Indiana's honorees combined for nine All-America certificates in 2010. Molly Beckwith headlines the group of Hoosiers, as she finished second in the 800m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Director and head coach of track and field at IU, Ron Helmer said the All-Academic selections represent the goals and ideals of the program.
