Lobos Land 275 Student-Athletes on Mountain West All-Academic Team
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A school-record 275 student-athletes from The University of New Mexico earned a spot on the Mountain West All-Academic Team, the league announced Wednesday. The Lobos, which collected six Mountain West Championships this year, amassed the fourth-highest total for the year behind UNLV, Nevada and Utah State.
To be eligible for selection, student-athletes must have completed at least one academic term at the member institution while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better. The athletic contribution/participation requirement has been omitted for this award this year due to the impact of COVID-19, student-athletes were required to have served on the active roster and not have opted out for the season.
UNM had 11 programs achieve record numbers including football (47), women’s soccer (32), volleyball (13), baseball (24), men’s golf (9), women’s golf (10), softball (15), swimming and diving (26), men’s tennis (8), women’s tennis (9) and women’s track and field (42).
Women’s soccer, which claimed this year’s conference title, led the league’s soccer programs with 32 selections, followed by UNLV (30). The squad bested its previous record of 20, which it set in 2019-20.
The 2021 Mountain West Champion women’s golf team led all women’s golf teams with 10 honorees, breaking the Lobos’ previous record of eight (2019-20).
