CLEVELAND - Following a fifth-place finish at the MAC Championship, the Miami University women's cross country team placed two sophomores, Jennie Stoll (Pewaukee, Wis./Pewaukee) and Carol Eckerly (Beavercreek, Ohio), on the All-MAC Academic Team as the conference office announced the 18-member team.
Stoll was Miami's top finisher in all seven races this season while holding a 3.64 GPA in early childhood education. For the season, Stoll won one individual title at the Cedarville Invitational (Sept. 17) -- a meet she has won each of the last two seasons -- and was named to the All-MAC Second Team after running a season-best 5K time of 18:06 at the conference meet.
Eckerly, who holds a 3.77 GPA in quantitive economics and political science, battled back from a summer injury and did her best running at the end of the season, placing second on the team at both the MAC Championship (Oct. 29) and Great Lakes Regional (Nov. 12). Her top 5K time of the season (18:39) came at the Cedarville Invitational on Sept. 17 as she helped Miami defeat Ohio State for the team title.
Akron headlined the All-MAC Academic team with three selections, while Ball State, Kent State and Ohio joined Miami with two members. Bowling Green, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, Toledo and Western Michigan each placed one student-athlete on the team.
The All-MAC Academic Team is voted on by the faculty athletic representatives at the conference schools, and the honor is designated for student-athletes who excel in both athletics and academics. To qualify for the award, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA and have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's contests. First-year students and junior college transfers in their first year of residence are not eligible.
