Villanova’s Sheila Reid Wins Third Scholar-Athlete of the Year Honor
In addition, 104 individuals receive All-Academic status for the 2011 cross country season
February 9, 2012
NEW ORLEANS – Sheila Reid of Villanova University was named the USTFCCCA NCAA Division I Women’s Scholar Athlete of the Year for the 2011 cross country season on Thursday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Reid won a second-straight NCAA cross country individual national title this past fall. Overall, it is Reid’s third Scholar-Athlete of the Year award. Reid has twice won the cross country version of the award, and, for the 2011 track & field season, she was the USTFCCCA’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year for outdoor track.
Scholar Athletes are determined from among those who earned All-Academic status and placed highest individually at the most recent NCAA Championships.
USTFCCCA NCAA Division I
Cross Country Women’s Scholar Athlete of the Year – Sheila Reid, Villanova
Reid, an English major from Newmarket, Ontario, has a cumulative GPA of 3.39 through the fall 2011 semester.
At the NCAA Championships in the fall, Reid captured the second-straight title in leading the Wildcats to a third-place team finish. In one of the best finishes in recent memory, Reid had to compete with a lead pack of eight runners heading into the final 500-meter stretch. Reid and Oregon’s Jordan Hasay separated from the group and ran side-by-side until the final 100 meters where Reid outsprinted Hasay to take the crown in 19:41.2.
Reid became the fifth in NCAA history to win back-to-back individual crowns.
Reid also won the NCAA Mid-Atlantic title for the third-straight time in the fall with a 21:32.7, outdistancing Georgetown’s Emily Infield by just over a second. Reid won the Big East crown for the third-straight time in leading the Wildcats a fourth-straight league championship.

In addition to the Scholar Athlete of the Year, the USTFCCCA also announced those women who earned 2011 Division I All-Academic Cross Country status.
A total of 104 student-athletes represent the 67 institutions that compose the group. National-finishing fourth-place team Florida State had six athletes named to the All-Academic honor roll, the most of any other squad in the country. Vanderbilt, Michigan, and West Virginia followed with five apiece.
The Big Ten Conference and the Big East Conference share the top-conference honors as 15 from their member institutions earned the plaudit. The ACC followed with 14 named to the list. The Pac-12 was next with 12.
The top three finishers from the NCAA Championships – Reid, Oregon’s Jordan Hasay, and Dartmouth’s Abbey D’Agostino – all earned the All-Academic nod. In addition, six of the race’s top ten and 14 of the top 25 made the cut.
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 either earned USTFCCCA All-America status or finished in the NCAA region’s top 15 (or top 10 percent) in 2011.
