7/11/2025 2:10:00 PM | Track and Field
Twelve Orange standouts earned All-ACC Academic distinction, for their performance during the outdoor track and field season and their success in the classroom.
The All-ACC Academic Team takes into account performance on the track, in addition to a student-athletes academic record, with those eligible having qualified for competition at the ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships and/or NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, while maintaining a 3.0 or better GPA for both the spring semester and their career.
Baneet Bains (Public Relations), Emma Eastman (Exercise Science), Heidi Demeo (Human Development and Family Science), Nyah Hernandez (Intercollegiate Athletic Advising), Justus Holden-Betts (Public Health), Rylie Lusk (Marriage and Family Therapy) and Peyton Rollins (Dual major: Marketing and Management) represented the women.
The men saw Omar Alsaidi (Information Management and Technology), Emanuel Joseph (Economics), Perry Mackinnon (Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises), Xayvion Perkins (Dual major: Public Communications and Political Science) and Sam Ricchiuti (Undeclared in the Whitman School of Management) earn the accolade.
The ACC Honor Roll, which honors a student-athlete for academic success, regardless of their event qualifications, will be released later this month.
