COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – TCU landed 41-student athletes on the Fall 2011 Academic All-Mountain West Team, the league office announced Thursday.

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, and be a starter or significant contributor on their athletic team. Fall sports include men’s and women’s cross country, football, women’s soccer and women’s volleyball.

The Horned Frog women’s soccer team racked up 15 of TCU’s 41 selections, while the cross country program garnered fourteen (six men, eight women) honorees. Sixteen TCU student-athletes earned a GPA of 3.5 or higher, including two who tallied a 4.0 mark.

Football had seven student-athletes honored, including two who have already earned their undergraduate degrees, while the volleyball team picked up five selections.
