NEW ORLEANS – The Long Beach State men's and women's track and field teams were awarded Academic Honors by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

As a team, both Beach programs were selected as All-Academic Teams by the USTFCCCA. The criteria for a team to be named an NCAA Division I All-Academic Team is:
