Four Western New Mexico University cross country runners received Academic All-RMAC honors on Wednesday.  On the women's side, sophomore Chelsea Nelson (Grants, NM) was placed on the honor roll.  The men's team junior Kempton Jackson (Gallup, NM), senior Benedikt Domke (Freiburg, Germany), and senior Luis Martinez (El Paso, TX) were also placed on the honor roll.

For the first time ever, the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference is recognizing first and second team all-academic performers in the sport of men’s and women's cross country. To qualify for Academic All-RMAC, student-athletes must have a GPA of 3.20 or better, be a starter or key reserve, and completed two consecutive semesters or three quarters at their current institution. Their GPA is what they had earned prior to cross country season beginning.

RMAC Sports Information Directors at schools that sponsor the sport of men’s cross country selected First and Second Team Academic All-RMAC. These SID’s took into account the student-athletes work in the classroom, as well as on the athletic field.
