CINCINNATI - University of Cincinnati junior harrier Eric Finan (New Richmond, Ohio/New Richmond) was named one of 56 All-Academic Honorees by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association on Monday.
In order to qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 and have either earned USTFCCCA All-America status or finished in the NCAA region's top 15 (or top 10 percent) in 2010.
The accolade adds to the list of accomplishments Finan accumulated during the 2010 cross country season. After winning the Great Lakes Regional Championship meet on Nov. 13, 2010 the USTFCCCA named Finan the Great Lakes Regional Athlete of the Year.
Earlier in the year, the mechanical engineering major finished seventh in the Big East Championships and 13th at the Pre-National Invitational.
