COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Cross Country was recognized for its hard work in the classroom Thursday, as both the men's and women's teams received the 2018 NCAA Division-I All-Academic Team honor, announced by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Association (USTFCCCA). In addition, Mizzou junior Kieran Wood (Cambridge, U.K.) and freshman Reilly Revord (Hinsdale, Ill.) each received the All-Academic Individual distinction.
