NEW ORLEANS – For the second consecutive year, the Syracuse University men's cross country program earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honors. The squad compiled an overall GPA of 3.19, which ranked higher than 57 percent of the 152 Division I institutions that were recognized. 

To qualify as a USTFCCCA All-Academic Cross Country Team, the team must have had a cumulative team GPA of 3.00 or better and have started at least five student-athletes at their respective NCAA regional championship.

Syracuse had seven runners compete for the men's team at the 2010 NCAA Northeast Regional Championship, where the Orange captured its second consecutive regional title. SU had five runners finish in the top-15 out of a total of 229 competitors.

The BIG 12 led all conferences with 10 members earning All-Academic honors and was followed by the BIG EAST, which had 9 members listed. Florida State University, the NCAA South Region's runner-up and ACC Champion, captured the 2010 Scholar Team of the Year honor.

Since Chris Fox assumed the head coaching position in 2005, SU's men have earned three All-Academic team honors.
