NEW ORLEANS ? The Gettysburg College men's and women's cross country teams were recently honored by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) for their performances on the course and in the classroom.
Both Bullet squads were named as USTFCCCA Division III All-Academic Teams, and seniors Christine Esposito (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy) and Kerry Campbell (Carlisle, Pa./Trinity) were among 201 women's runners to capture individual All-Academic status.
For a school to qualify as an All-Academic Team, it must have achieved a cumulative grade-point average of 3.10 or better. Gettysburg's men's team, one of 141 squads to be recognized, posted a 3.17 GPA. The Bullet women finished with a 3.33 GPA and were among 197 women's teams to make the cut.
Individually, to qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Cross Country Team a student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or greater through the most-recent semester and placed in the top-35 at their respective NCAA Regional Championship.
Esposito, a health sciences major, finished 14th among 346 runners at the NCAA Division III Mideast Regional this past fall to capture her first career all-region award while Campbell, a biology major, placed 20th to earn all-region honors for the second time. The pair helped the Bullets finish sixth out of 49 teams.
Gettysburg's women's team has now had at least one runner named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team in each of the past four years. Kyler Philbin '12 earned the award last season, as did Campbell in 2010 and Kerrin Epstein '10 and Sarah Fritz '10 following the 2009 season.
