Brooke Busa of the RIT women’s cross country team earned 2016 Liberty League Fall All-Academic Team honors.
Liberty League commissioner Tracy King announced that 573 fall sport student-athletes have qualified for the 2016 All-Academic Teams in their respective sports, marking the second-highest total for fall sports since the league began recognizing outstanding academic achievement.
RIT had a fall record 55 student-athletes honored by the league.
To be recognized as a member of the All-Academic team, a student-athlete must be a sophomore or
higher in class standing with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30. The Liberty League elevated the GPA requirement from 3.20 to 3.30 this fall to follow the established standard for eligibility for CoSIDA Academic All-America awards.
