NEW ORLEANS—First-year Amrit Rehal (Alpharetta, Ga.) and the Babson College women's track & field team were honored for their success in the classroom when the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced its 2025 All-Academic awards last week. 

Rehal became Babson's first USTFCCCA All-Academic selection since 2022, while the Beavers were among 212 Division III programs to achieve All-Academic Team honors after concluding the spring semester with a 3.44 team grade-point average. Under the direction of head coach Russ Brennen, the Green and White received All-Academic Team accolades for the 18th consecutive season. Teams must maintain a 3.10 GPA or better in order to qualify for the award.

In order to qualify for USTFCCCA All-Academic honors, a student-athlete must have compiled at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average and have competed in an NCAA Indoor or Outdoor Championship, or finished the regular season ranked in the top-50 nationally in an individual event or in the top-35 in a relay event.

Rehal put together a terrific rookie season that included breaking Babson's 23-year-old record in the high jump while ranking second in the East Region in the event. She broke the record by clearing 5-feet, 5-inches in her collegiate debut at the Alan Connie Shamrock Invitational on March 22 and then bettered the mark by clearing 5-feet, 5.25-inches in the Farley Inter Regional at Williams on May 10. 

Just the third individual to earn USTFCCCA All-East Region honors back in May, Rehal came in second in the high jump to earn all-conference recognition at the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championships on April 26. 

The Beavers recorded their third highest point total in program history en route to finishing eighth at the NEWMAC Championships.
