WEST CHESTER, Pa.- The Collegiate Sports Communicators released their Men's Track and Field Academic All-District squad on Tuesday afternoon and
Derrick Lukomski-Pizzo (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North) added another honor to his growing trophy case by earning Academic All-District honors.
To be eligible for Academic All-District ® consideration, student-athletes must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically and must be enrolled at their institution at the time of nomination either as undergraduates or graduate students.
Academically, an undergraduate student-athlete must have at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale). A graduate student-athlete must have at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) as both an undergraduate and a graduate student unless they are in their first semester as a graduate student and don't have an established graduate GPA.
For track & field, eligibility for Academic All-District ® consideration is a bit more specific than other sports. A student-athlete must rank among the Top 50 individuals in a single event indoors or outdoors per the Track & Field Results Reporting System (TFRRS) or have finished among the Top 50 at the 2024 NCAA regional or national cross country championships. Relay performances cannot be a sole determinant of eligibility.
Academic All-District® honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced July 15, 2025 (women) and July 16, 2025 (men).
