AUSTIN, Texas -- Hope College's Chelsea Miskelley was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Division III Track & Field/Cross Country Second Team for the 2019-20 academic year.

The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) senior from Holland, Michigan, received the accolade following All-District recognition in May 2020.

Nomination Criteria:

• To be nominated, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at his/her current institution. The cumulative grade-point average may NOT be rounded up to 3.30.
• Nominated athletes must have participated in at least 50 percent of the team’s games at the position listed on the nomination form (where applicable). In track and field / cross country, a student-athlete is not required to compete in all three sports in order to be nominated. To be eligible, nominees must participate in 50 percent of the competitions that an institution schedules in either cross country, indoor track and field, or outdoor track and field. If an institution schedules multiple competitions on the same weekend (e.g., distance runners at one location, sprinters at a second location, field event athletes at a third), then the entire weekend counts as one competition for 50 percent participation purposes.
• No student-athlete is eligible until he/she has completed one full calendar year at his/her current institution and has reached sophomore athletic eligibility.
• In the cases of transfers, graduate students, and two-year college graduates, the student-athlete must have completed one full calendar year at the nominating institution to be eligible.
