Indianapolis - The Horizon League announced the Academic All-League Team for both men’s and women’s indoor track and field with a total of 30 student-athletes being recognized for their success both in competition and in the classroom.

Seven institutions were represented on the Men’s Academic All-League Team with Milwaukee and Valparaiso at the top with three apiece, followed by Detroit Mercy, Oakland, UIC and Youngstown State with two each, while Northern Kentucky was awarded one honoree.

Eight of the nine teams were represented on the Women’s Academic All-League Team with Youngstown State topping the charts, having four student-athletes earning spots. Milwaukee had three student-athletes recognized, while Northern Kentucky and Valparaiso each had two players honored.
