NEW YORK, N.Y. - The BIG EAST Conference has announced the 22 teams that have been recognized with 2023-24 Team Academic Excellence Awards for compiling the highest collective grade-point averages in each conference sport. Creighton brought home four of those awards -- second most in the BIG EAST -- thanks to dominant performances in the classroom from its cross country and outdoor track programs.
The winners were chosen based on the 2023-24 grade-point average of each student-athlete who appeared on an institution's roster as of the last contest of the championship segment in each conference-sponsored sport.
