Senior Megan Clennon (Aurora, Ill./West) and junior Shannon Turczyn (Peru, Ill./LaSalle-Peru) were named to the women’s team and sophomore Clay Staley (Hanna City, Ill./Illini Bluffs) made the men's team. To be selected, athletes must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.25 and must have met the NCAA Division III Indoor or Outdoor automatic or provisional qualifying standard in their event.

For the second consecutive year, Clennon qualified for the national outdoor meet in the high jump where she earned All-American honors with an eighth-place finish. The psychology major picked up her first USTFCCCA all-academic honor.

A psychology and education double major, Turczyn was named to the USTFCCCA all-academic team for the third time. She qualified for the 55-meter hurdles at the indoor national meet for the second straight year. Her fifth-place finish outdoors in the 100-meter hurdles this spring was the junior's third consecutive outdoor All-American performance. She broke her own school record twice at the national meet.

Named to the USTFCCCA’s all-academic team in cross country last fall, this is Staley’s second selection in track and field. He qualified outdoors in the steeplechase this spring after running a provisional time but missing the cut for the national meet as a freshman in 2007. Staley is majoring in biology.
