Three Lions Earn Academic Recognition from Lone Star Conference


Three members of the Texas A&M University-Commerce men's cross country team, Tyler Tyndell, Logan Kelly and Brandon Womack, earned academic recognition from the Lone Star Conference on Friday.

Tyndell, a junior from Paris, was named to the LSC All-Academic Team along with Abilene Christian's Julius Nyango, East Central's John Sutrick and Daniel Kiptoo and Eastern New Mexico's Jacob Wiklund. Nyango was selected as the conference's Academic Runner of the Year.

Kelly, a junior from Van Alstyne and Womack, a sophomore from Lone Oak, were both selected to the Commissioner's Honor Roll. The league’s sports information directors vote upon the All-Academic teams. To be eligible for both the Honor Roll and the All-Academic team, student-athletes must maintain a 3.20 cumulative grade point average.

All the runners will compete in the LSC Cross Country Championships on Saturday, Oct. 25, in Kingsville, Texas.
