Dahl, Marsh and Wakefield competed at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the men's mile and women's pentathlon.

Several more of this season's All-ACC Academic honorees earned All-ACC distinctions at the ACC Indoor Championships.
Minimum academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0-grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one's academic career. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.
The ACC Honor Roll, which recognizes all conference student-athletes with a grade point average of 3.0 for the current academic year, will be released in July.
