NEW ORLEANS - With a combination of academic and athletic success in the 2016-17 season, Millie Howard has earned a spot on the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team.
Including the Scholar Athletes of the Year, a total of 752 women earned USTFCCCA All-Academic honors for this past year. To qualify for USTFCCCA All-Academic honors, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative GPA of 3.25 and have met at least one of the following athletic standards:
> For the indoor season, a student-athlete must have finished the regular season ranked in the national top 96 in an individual event or ranked in the national top 48 (collective listing) in a relay event on the official NCAA POP list provided by TFRRS.org.
> For the outdoor season, a student-athlete must have participated in any round of the NCAA Division I Championships (including preliminary rounds).
Howard, just a freshman in 2016-17, took home the bronze medal in the 800m at the American Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships in addition to helping set a school record in the distance medley relay at the Penn Relays. She then advanced to the NCAA East Preliminaries, competing among the top 45 800m runners in the region. During the indoor season, Howard set a new school record in the 1000m (2:52.02), Â and advanced to the mile run finals at the American Athletic Conference Indoor Championships. She placed sixth overall in that event with a personal-best time of 4:52.99.
In the fall of 2016, Howard's debut for cross country was an impressive one. She earned three top-10 finishes in six races, and placed 20th at her first-ever American Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships with a season-best 6K time of 21:37.
