NEW ORLEANS - The USTFCCCA announced their 2020-21 academic honors, with the Northwest Nazarene men and women both earning the team award and individuals Tyler Shea and Kinsey Langin receiving All-Academic Athlete recognition.

To be selected as an All-Academic Athlete, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.25 cumulative GPA on a 4.00 scale, must have completed at last 24 semester hours or 36 quarter hours by the end of the semester and must have achieved an automatic or provisional qualifying mark during either the indoor or outdoor season. Over 325 men and 375 women earned All-Academic honors.

Teams named USTFCCCA All-Academic Teams must have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher, encompassing grades earned by all student-athletes of the institution's NCAA squad list. Both awards require that the institution's head coach be a member of the USTFCCCA.
