ATHENS, W.Va. – Senior
Jason Weitzel of the Concord University men's cross country and track and field teams has been selected to the Google Cloud Academic All-District Team voted on by CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America).
Weitzel earns a nod on the Google Cloud/CoSIDA Academic All-Distirct Team for a second straight year after sporting a cumulative 3.39 GPA as a health and physical education major as well as being an eight-time all-region selection during the 2018-19 school year.
The Athens, West Virginia native was the Mountain East Conference Runner of the Year in cross country and was also the Atlantic Regional Runner of the Year as he advanced to the Division II National Cross Country Championship for a third straight year. On the track, Weitzel was United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Region four times during the indoor season.
Weitzl ran three NCAA Division II Provisional Qualifying times in the outdoor track spring season as he earned three more all-region honors in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, 5,000-meter run and 10,000-meter run.
Earlier this month, Weitzel won his second MEC Championship in the steeplechase while finishing runner-up in the 5,000-meters at the conference meet.
Even though Weitzel is a senior in the classroom, he still has one more season of eligibility left on the track.
Additionally, Weitzel moves on to the national ballot for Academic All-American consideration.
