NEW ORLEANS - The UC San Diego track and field program had six student-athletes named to the 2010 U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team, it was announced this week.

UCSD's Marie Archer, Kelly Fogarty, Anna Lee McGregor, Leah Murphy and Linda Rainwater were named to the women's team, while Leon Baham was the Tritons' lone representative on the men's side.

To qualify for the USTFCCCA All‐Academic Track and Field Team, the student‐athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 and have met either the NCAA Division I Indoor automatic or provisional qualifying standard or participated in the NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships (including preliminary rounds) in their respective event.

Archer, Fogarty, and Rainwater represented UCSD at the NCAA Division II National Championships in May, where the Triton women finished 16th in the team standings. Fogarty turned in a stellar performance, becoming the first female sprinter in program history to earn All-American status in both the 100 and 200 after finishing sixth and seventh in the two events, respectively. She also set the school record in the 200, clocking in at 23.96 in the preliminaries on the second day of competition.

Rainwater battled through an injury to finish 11th in the high jump, while Archer finished 13th in the hammer throw. Baham was one of four Tritons competing in the NCAA Championships on the men's side, taking part in the 400 hurdles.
