NEW ORLEANS — Scholar Team of the Year and AllAcademic Team honors for the 201516 NCAA Division III Track & Field seasons were announced Thursday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). The UWEau Claire men and Baldwin Wallace women, both national champions, were honored as Indoor Scholar Teams of the Year. That trend continued during the outdoor season as the national champion UWLa Crosse men and Illinois Wesleyan women took home the laurels for Outdoor Scholar Teams of the Year. In order to be in the running for Scholar Team of the Year, a team must finish highly at the respective national championship and have at least a 3.10 cumulative team GPA. All told, there were 112 men’s teams and 175 women’s teams up for consideration. At the NCAA Division III Indoor Championships in Grinnell, Iowa, the Blugolds and Yellow Jackets waged remarkable comebacks to win their respective national titles. UWEau Claire was led Josh Thorson, the Male Indoor Track Scholar Athlete of the Year, while Baldwin Wallace was carried by Melanie Winters, the Female Indoor Field Scholar Athlete of the Year. This is the second Indoor Scholar Team of the Year Award for the Blugolds (third overall, but first since 2012), while it’s the Yellow Jackets’ first in program history. There was little denying UWLa Crosse and Illinois Wesleyan at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships in Waverly, Iowa. The Eagles beat UWEau Claire by eight points (4133) and ended the rival’s chance at a Triple Crown (XC, Indoor & Outdoor titles in the same academic year), while the Titans edged Baldwin Wallace by one point (4241) thanks to the efforts of Amelia Glueck, the Female Outdoor Field Scholar Athlete of the Year.
