USTFCCCA All-Academic Teams
USTFCCCA Scholar Athletes

HAVERFORD, Pa. – The Haverford College men's track and field team has been named a 2014-15 All-Academic Team as announced by the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches' Association (USTFCCCA). This is the 10th honor in as many years for the team since the association combined the indoor and outdoor season into one award.

Haverford was one of 99 institutions across NCAA Division III that earned a team GPA of 3.10 or higher. Being leaders in the classroom is nothing new to Haverford as both the indoor and outdoor track and field squads led the Centennial Conference in academic honor roll selections for that respective sport.

David Roza '15, Joel Christian '15 and rising sophomore Henry Woods were each honored as USTFCCCA Scholar Athletes. To qualify for this honor, a student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.30. The student-athlete must also have competed in either the indoor or outdoor NCAA track championships or finished a season ranked in the top 35 nationally in an individual event or top 25 in a relay event.

A two-time USTFCCCA Scholar Athlete, Roza was a NCAA qualifier in the steeplechase and was the one of seven runners in Centennial Conference history to win the 5,000m and 3,000m steeplechase outdoor events. The Haverford graduate also won the 3,000m indoor conference title and placed second in the 5,000m this year. Christian qualified for the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 10,000m and was All-Centennial Conference honorable mention in the 5,000m indoor meet. Woods was part of the 4x800 relay team that took the indoor crown, placed second in the mile and was the Centennial Conference Indoor Outstanding Rookie of the Year.
