NEW ORLEANS, La. – University of Dayton javelin throwers Casey Bogues and Daniela Peralta have been named All-Academic Athletes for the 2025 NCAA Division I Women’s Track & Field seasons by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

To qualify for the honor, student-athletes must have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale (including the most recent grading period) and must have participated in at least one round of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

This marks the fourth time Bogues has been named an All-Academic Athlete by the USTFCCCA. The graduate student, who was also named to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team in May, capped off her career at the NCAA East Regional. A native of Red Bank, New Jersey, Bogues is one of the most decorated athletes in program history. She is a four-time Atlantic 10 champion in the javelin, holds 16 career wins, and owns the program’s longest throw. A two-time U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier, she recently earned her master’s degree in Literacy with a perfect 4.0 GPA in graduate school.

Peralta, a Sport Management major, earns All-Academic honors from the USTFCCCA for the first time. The Gillette, New Jersey native recorded a personal-best throw of 47.50m to win the Mount Union Last Chance Meet in May — the third-longest javelin throw in program history. After missing most of the 2024 season due to injury, the redshirt sophomore bounced back in 2025 with seven top-five finishes and a trip to the NCAA East Regional.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (7/21/25) – The Kean University men’s volleyball team earned an American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award for its classroom performance in the 2024-25 school year.

“It is very exciting to see that the record-setting, on-court successes during the 2024-25 season have extended to the classroom,” says AVCA CEO Jaime Gordon. “The fact that more programs earned the Team Academic Award than ever before is evidence of how committed our coaches are when it comes to helping their players reach their goals as both students and athletes.”

The award, which was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale.

More than 1,400 teams earned the award this year.

 

LOS ANGELES – Junior outside hitters Cheridyn Leverette and Maggie Li have been named to the AVCA Division I Player of the Year Award Watch List, presented by Nike Volleyball, announced on Tuesday morning.
 
Leverette and Li are two of 30 standout athletes selected from 20 institutions to appear on the watch list. UCLA is one of just nine programs to boast multiple honorees.
 
Leverette’s quickly emerged as one of top player players in the nation to stardom following her breakout 2024 season where she earned AVCA All-America Honorable Mention and First Team All-Big Ten honors. After limited appearances in 2022, she emerged as a reliable starter in 2023, ranking third on the team with 288 kills and leading in service aces. By 2024, Leverette led the Bruins in five statistical categories, totaled 435 kills with 20+ kills in three matches, and posted a remarkable 29-kill outing at Purdue—the highest kill tally by a Bruin in the last three years. Her consistency was unmatched, recording double-digit kills in 27 of 28 matches and becoming just the fifth Bruin in the rally scoring era with 20 straight matches in double figures.
 
Li will join UCLA after two fantastic seasons as a standout outside hitter at Cal. As a freshman in 2023, she led all Division I newcomers in multiple categories and became the first in program history to earn AVCA Pacific West Region Freshman of the Year and VolleyballMag All-America Honorable Mention. She continued her dominance in 2024, starting every match and ranking among the ACC’s top three in kills, kills per set, and total points. She went on to register a total of 463 kills and seven double-doubles. Li earned Pac-12 and ACC weekly honors at record-setting rates and posted seven 20+ kill performances, including a season-high 28 against Saint Mary’s.
