WAYNESBURG (June 5) – Waynesburg University senior
Tim Monaghan (Marietta, Pa./Donegal) was selected to the
ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District II men’s track & field/cross country team, announced the College Sports Information Director of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday.
Monaghan earned a first-team all-district selection and will now be eligible for consideration on the
ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America teams. He is the first runner to earn the all-district honor since the men’s cross country program was reinstated prior to the 2003 season.
In the fall, Monaghan posted a team-best time in six of the seven invitationals, including a pair of top-five overall finishes. In 2006, he helped lead the Yellow Jackets to a program-best, second-place finish at the conference championship. Monaghan earned all-conference honors in two of his three seasons with the program.
Monaghan, an accounting major, holds a cumulative 3.98 grade-point average (GPA) and is a two-time member of the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Academic Honor Roll.
To qualify for the academic all-district honors, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative 3.20 GPA or higher, reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at their institution and participated in at least 50 percent of the team’s games as a starter or important reserve with legitimate athletic credentials.
District II consists of all colleges and universities in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia and District of Columbia that are not affiliated with NCAA Division I.
