To be recognized as a team, programs must have a cumulative team GPA of all student-athletes who used a season of eligibility must be at least a 3.10 on a 4.0 scale through the most recent semester/quarter.  

Under the direction of Head Track & Field Coach Emily Dippel and Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Brian Chabot, the Crimson and Gray women’s program checked in at a 3.73 team GPA which tied for 13th overall among USTFCCCA NCAA Division III teams that were honored as the men’s program finished with a 3.64 team GPA for 15th overall.

Individually, junior Gavin Fleck (Bend, OR) returns to the USTFCCCA All-Academic list for his third career honor in 2025 as senior Tristan Andrew (Newtown, CT) collected his second career academic accolade. WPI welcomes six first-time honorees Lucas Anthony (Lincoln, MA), Avinash Bissoondial (Millbury, MA), Sam Manteria (Wilbraham, MA), Everett Mosher (Chester, VT), Matt Richards (Peabody, MA) and Ethan Schnyer (Nashua, NH).

To qualify for individual honors, student-athletes must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 on a 4.0 scale through the most recently completed grading period or must have finished the season among the top 50 individuals as listed on the descending order lists on TFRRS. In addition, any athletes not among the top 50, but who participated at the Indoor OR Outdoor National Championships, are eligible.
