On the men's side, Ryan Hackbart, Evan Henderson, Tyler O'Neil, Hunter Wallster and Jared Wipf received Academic All-League honors. Henderson takes this honor after being named Scholar of the Championship for the outdoor conference meet, while Wallster was previously named Scholar of the Championship for the indoor conference competition. Both Henderson and Wallster, alongside Hackbart, have been named to the Academic All-League team twice this year, as the trio were previously bestowed Academic All-League honors following the indoor season.
