NEW ORLEANS - The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) handed out its 2024 All-Academic Awards on July 15 and Davenport was featured both as a team and individually. The men's team carried a 3.30 team GPA and the women's team shined with a 3.53 GPA.

Here is the criteria for a team be named an NCAA Division II All-Academic Team:

Institutions utilizing a different GPA scale must convert the GPA to a 4.0 scale using the standard conversion method [GPA/Scale x 4.0].
• Transfer students and/or graduate students are to include only grades earned at the current nominating institution.
• The cumulative GPA of all student-athletes on the institution's NCAA Squad List for Indoor and/or Outdoor Track and Field must be computed by the following method:

1. Total the cumulative number of semester hours or quarter hours earned for all student-athletes on the NCAA Squad List including the most recent grading period;
2. Total the cumulative number of quality points (GPA multiplied by the number of credit hours) earned by all student-athletes including the most recent grading period;
3. Divide the cumulative number of quality points earned by the cumulative number of semester or quarter hours earned.
