HAVERFORD, Pa. - Haverford men's track & field junior Jamie Moreland has been named to the PhillySIDA Academic All-Area team, the Philadelphia Sports Information Directors Association (PhillySIDA) announced in a release on Friday morning.

A repeat performer on the Academic All-Area squad, Moreland has also earned 2020 All-America status in the indoor mile as well as the Centennial Conference Indoor Track Performer of the Year in that 2019-20 season.
