IRVING, Texas - Excelling both on the track and in the classroom, junior Kristen Williams and redshirt sophomore Tom Nobles of the Charlotte Track & Field team have been named to the 2017 InTouch Credit Union Conference USA Men's and Women's Track & Field All-Academic Teams, the league office announced Wednesday morning.
This season marks the second straight that the 49ers have had multiple student-athletes make the conference all-academic team after none made the list in 2015.
Williams is the first athlete in program history to make the C-USA All-Academic Team in back-to-back years and the second to appear on the team multiple teams alongside distance runner Zach Greth, whose performance in academia was acknowledged in 2014 and 2016.
