Three Virginia Runners Earn All-ACC Academic Team Honors
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia seniors AJ Ernst (Marblehead, Mass.) and Randy Neish (Glastonbury, Conn.), and sophomore Peter Morris (Hamilton, Va.) were selected for the All-ACC Academic Cross Country Team, the league office announced on Thursday (Jan. 30).
Ernst was selected for his second All-ACC Academic honor. The senior earned All-ACC and All-Southeast Region honors during the 2019 cross country season, placing 20th at the conference championships and 11th at the regional championships.
Morris and Neish were selected to the All-ACC Academic Team for the first time.
Morris earned All-ACC and All-Southeast Region honors during the year, placing 12th and 17th at the ACC and Southeast Regional Championships, respectively. Both runners helped the Cavaliers to a 20th-place finish at the NCAA Championships as Morris was the second UVA runner to cross the finish line and Neish was the third.
Minimum academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.
The ACC Honor Roll, which recognizes all conference student-athletes with a grade point average of 3.0 for the current academic year, will be announced in July.
