NORFOLK, Va. (October 26, 2022) – The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) unveiled its 2022 Cross County All-Academic Team where Howard University saw eight Bison recognized for their hard work inside the classroom. The announcement came Wednesday afternoon.
The eight recipients were
Ayoade Adebiyi (Virginia Beach, Va.),
Joslyn Crosby (Bossier City, La.),
Camille Egbula (Simpsonville, S.C.),
Cameron Kennedy (Austin, Texas),
Julian Lawson (Sewell, N.J.),
Breanna McDonald (Bethesda, Md.),
Sherisse Peterson (Philadelphia) and
Melanie White (Orlando, Fla.).
"I want to congratulate our men's and women's cross country student-athletes for maintaining a 3.0 or better grade point average," MEAC Commissioner Sonja Stills said. "Academic success is as important as, if not more so than, athletic prowess, and it's important that we recognize that."
Overall, 65 student-athletes were honored from the conference's eight institutions who achieved academic success during the 2021-22 academic year.
MEAC sophomore, junior and senior student-athletes with a 3.0 or better cumulative grade point average, along with transfer student-athletes who have been in residence at the institution for at least one year, are eligible for All-Academic accolades.
Saturday (Oct. 29), Howard closes out the season at the MEAC Cross Country Championships in Syrma, Del. Men's 8K race begins at 11 a.m. followed by the women's 5K event at 2 p.m.
