NORFOLK, Va. (May 14, 2026) — The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) announced its 2026 Men's and Women's Outdoor Track & Field All-Academic Team, honoring 177 student-athletes from the conference's eight member institutions for their outstanding achievements in the classroom.
Among those recognized were 20 student-athletes from Morgan State University's track & field program, continuing the Bears' tradition of academic excellence alongside athletic success.
The MEAC All-Academic Team recognizes sophomore, junior, and senior student-athletes who maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Transfer student-athletes are also eligible, provided they have completed at least one year in residence at their institution.
"Congratulations to our outdoor track & field All-Academic student-athletes," said Sonja Stills. "Education is the cornerstone of everything we do, both at the conference level and in intercollegiate athletics as a whole. Academic achievement is just as worthy of praise as anything accomplished in competition, if not more so."
The recognition highlights the dedication and discipline demonstrated by Morgan State's student-athletes as they balance the demands of competition and academics throughout the season.
