PHILADELPHA, PA -- Joshua Cason was selected to the 2024 Philly-SIDA Men's Cross Country All-Area Academic Team.

He becomes the fourth Prof in as many years to be named to the team. The Philly-SIDA Academic All-Area teams are nominated for, and voted on, by the sports information directors at 30 institutions in the Philadelphia region. Student-athletes must be in at least their second year at their current institution and hold a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.30 or higher to be considered for nomination.

The Management Information Systems major was named the 2024 NJAC Runner of the Year after capturing the conference individual title helping the Profs to its third-straight crown and the 26th in team history.
