🔼Class Acts. Sure, winning in their respective sports are fun, but when our Terps win off the field, we love it even more.

This week, some of our own were honored for exactly that as 7️⃣ Maryland track and field/cross country student-athletes were named U.S. Track & Field And Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic.

Additionally, both the men's and women's track & field teams earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Team distinction.

From the men's team, Eric Albright and Rhys Allen earned the individual honors. The women's team had five student-athletes earn the accolade: Tolu Akinduro, Jayla Bynum, Chioma Njoku, Kayla Thorpe, and Jennessa Wolfe.

To earn the individual all-academic honor, student-athletes must hold a minimum cumulative grade-point-average of 3.25 and have completed at least two semesters at their current institution. Additionally, they must have finished in the top 96 in any championship individual event (or top 48 in a relay event) during the indoor season or participated in any round of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships finishing among the top 48 in the East/West regionals during the outdoor season.

For the teams to be honored, a program must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 for an institutions NCAA squad list.

🔼Shine Bright At The Diamond. While some of her classmates may be head to Camden Yards this summer to enjoy a ball game or two, Sydney Lewis of Maryland softball is enjoying a totally different perspective at the stadium.

She is one of over 40+ Terps to land an internship over the summer in conjunction with the Maryland Made’s InTERPship Academy.

Lewis, a rising junior studying communication, is interning with the Baltimore Orioles in their marketing and communication departments. She’s working with the Orioles for eight weeks, during which time she’s browsing through and shadowing various teams and learning about their operations.
