The Wright State women's cross country team has been recognized as a United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I All-Academic Team.

The program received the honor after posting a cumulative team grade point average of 3.21 through the fall quarter. Three members of the squad (Christina Hill, Marie Pitsenbarger and Katie Puthoff) were named to the Horizon League Fall Academic Honor Roll after recording a GPA of 3.2 or higher.

In all, 158 of 325 Division I women's programs were honored by the USTFCCCA.

For a team to be considered for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team award, they must have competed and compiled a team score at an NCAA Regional Meet. The team must also have a minimum 3.00 team cumulative grade point average.
