NEW ORLEANS – The Haverford College men’s cross country team has been named one of the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association (USTFCCCA) 2024 Division III Men’s All-Academic Teams, the organization announced in a release on Thursday afternoon.

Haverford has built an impressive academic legacy, having won the overall Scholar Team of the Year award three times (2007, 2010, 2011) and earning the All-Academic Team designation every year since the award’s inception in 1996. To be considered an All-Academic Team, a program must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.10 or higher through the institution’s most recent grading period.

In addition to the team award, six members of the Haverford men’s cross country team were named All-Academic athletes for the 2024 season: Evan Daniels (Mount Pleasant, S.C.), Luke de Valpine (Berkeley, Calif.), Reza Eshghi (Lincoln, Mass.), Seamus Fraser (Port Townsend, Wash.), Peter LaRochelle (Great Barrington, Mass.), and Jakob Maiwald (Chapel Hill, N.C.). Fraser and LaRochelle both repeat the honor from last season. 

To earn All-Academic distinction, student-athletes must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.30 on a 4.0 scale and finish in the top-25 percent of their respective regional championship meet.
