The VMI women’s track and field team was one of 222 schools nationwide to be recognized as a U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic program for the 2024–25 academic year July 21, 2025.
To receive USTFCCCA All-Academic status as a team, the program must achieve a 3.0 cumulative GPA for all student-athletes on the institution’s NCAA squad list for indoor and/or outdoor track and field on a 4.0 scale.
The Keydets earned the status with a 3.03 team GPA for the 2024–25 school year.
“Our women’s team has come a long way over the past 2 years, and this progress would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of Bridget Shanks and her Cadet-Athlete Development Office, as well as Coach Williams and Coach Wisecarver for identifying and bringing in the right women to elevate our program,” said Zack Scott ’89, VMI director of cross country and track and field. “Thank you for your continued commitment to building something special.”
VMI also had a successful year athletically with multiple All-Conference honorees at the 2025 Indoor and Outdoor SoCon Championships and the majority of the team setting new personal records in their respective events.
