Wolfpack Rank 14th in the Nation in Team GPA

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The NJCAA released the 2020-21 Academic Teams of the Year Thursday and the Westmoreland County Community College women's cross country program added another milestone to a remarkable season.

The Wolfpack, who placed third at NJCAA Division III Championships in November, ranked 14th among all NJCAA cross country programs this past year with a 3.29 Team GPA through both semesters of the 2020-21 academic year. That GPA was also the third-highest among Division III programs, behind only Kellogg Community College and Monroe College-Bronx.

Leading the Wolfpack efforts in the classroom were a trio of student-athletes who posted 4.0 GPAs for the year, including Olivia Jumper, who also earned All-American honors on the course at the championship meet in November. In addition, Anna Rubino and Chelsey Gasparovic posted 4.0 GPAs for the academic year, which earned all three runners First Team All-Academic First Team distinction as individuals as well. Earning Second Team All-Academic Team laurels with a 3.91 GPA for the year was Molleigh Henderson.

Two others finished above 3.0 GPAs for the year, including Morgan Brown and Brooke Bertovich.
