In order to be recognized on as a USTFCCCA Division III Scholar Team the programs must have compiled a cumulative GPA or 3.10 or greater and competed in at least five different meets with at least five runners representing their school at each.
“Excellence in academics is an inherent part of the culture of our cross country teams here at Geneva,” said Head Coach Brian Yowler. “It’s wonderful to see our student-athlete’s hard work pay off both in the classroom as well as on the cross country course.”
