MACON, Ga. -- The Atlantic Sun Conference released its list of Academic All-Conference award winners and the North Florida cross country teams were represented by a trio of student-athletes including Eden Meyer and twins Justin and Jeremy Bryan.
The annual award is voted on by the league's athletic communication directors with nominees required to have over a 3.30 cumulative GPA, attended the institution for over a year and competed in at least three races during the season.
"While all student-athletes work hard in the classroom, it is really special to have some that truly excel academically," said head coach Jeff Pigg. "Eden along with Jeremy and Justin consistently perform at the highest level and that is a testament and reflection to their pursuit of excellence. We are extremely proud of their efforts and thrilled to have them as part of our program."
Meyer, a sophomore majoring in biology, was one of two unanimous choices on the women's list after boasting a perfect 4.0 GPA. A two-time, first-team All-Conference runner on the course, Meyer also earned academic honor roll distinction last season and was named tot the USTFCCCA All-Academic team for cross country as a freshman. This season, she has been the team's top finisher in every race highlighted by a season best 17:41 in the ASun Championship.
Justin Bryan, a senior with a 3.98 GPA in health science, earns his second Academic All-Conference honor for cross country. In his career, he has also garnered a pair of Academic All-Conference awards in outdoor track and one for indoor track. Last season, Justin was also named the Atlantic Sun Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year for outdoor track. This season he ran in every race for the Ospreys capped by a season best 25:38 in the conference championship meet. That performance also earned him second-team all-conference honors.
A senior with a 3.93 in health science, Jeremy Bryan is also making his second consecutive appearance on the Academic All-Conference list for cross country. He has also been twice named to the league's Academic Honor Roll for his work in the classroom. This season, Jeremy competed in three races for the Ospreys posting his best time of 26:02 in the Mt. Dew Invitational.
The North Florida cross country teams both finished second at the recent Atlantic Sun Championships and are set to compete in the NCAA South Regional meet on Friday (Nov. 13) in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
