NEW ORLEANS -  The Haverford College women's track & field team has been named a Division III All-Academic Team for the 2023 season, the United States Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced in a release on Thursday. 

This season marks the 17th time in the past 18 seasons the Fords have earned this honor since the association combined the indoor and outdoor season into one award. In NCAA Division III this year, there were 216 women's teams recognized by the USTFCCCA for academic excellence.

In order to qualify for All-Academic distinction, the team must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.1 on a 4.0 scale through the most recent semester/quarter.

In addition to the team plaudit, first year Olivia D'Aulerio joined sophomore Katie Hirsche, juniors Ally Landau and Isabel Thornberry, and senior Jahsaiah Moses all earned a place on the USTFCCCA All-Academic athlete list. 

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 qualified for either the indoor or outdoor NCAA track championships or finished a season ranked in the top 50 nationally in an individual event or top 35 programs in a relay event.

The 4x400 meter relay squad of Landau, Thornberry, Moses, and D'Aulerio earned their spot with a 3:55.46 at the 2023 CC Outdoor Track & Field Championships while Hirsche was honored by virtue of her 33rd-best 10,000-meter time in the nation (36:33.24).
