OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City University's Kaitlyn Heffernan, Ana Rivera and Bailey Sartain took their second academic all-Sooner Athletic Conference nods.
Six OCU runners collected academic honors from the SAC. Thirty-three runners became academic all-SAC honorees.
The Stars' Katlyn Davenport, Elizabeth Heffernan and Jacinda Kwambai also nabbed academic all-conference. OCU has taken the last six SAC crowns.
The academic all-SAC teams honor those letter winners who post a 3.25 or better grade-point average on conference teams over the previous year.
