Dec. 24, 2006

Three members of the 2006 Wayne State men's cross country team were named to the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) All-Academic team. The Warriors placed second at both the league championship and NCAA Great Lakes Regional, and eighth at the NCAA Championship.

To be eligible for GLIAC All-Academic status, a student athlete must have: a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or greater (on a 4.0 scale); must be a starter or key reserve; and must not be a freshman or first-year transfer.

Selected to the GLIAC All-Academic team were junior Kevin Christensen (Battle Creek, Mich,/Pennfield), senior Lance Jones (Saranac, Mich.), and junior Dave Lucas (Dearborn, Mich./Detroit Catholic Central).

Jones was honored for the third time in his career, while Christensen and Lucas were named for the second consecutive season.

Four of WSU's nine letterwinners this year were in their first year at the school and thus ineligible for academic team honors.
