Cottey College continues to raise the bar for excellence in both athletics and academics. The school's track and field program has been named a USTFCCCA All-Academic Team for the 2024–25 season, a prestigious recognition awarded by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. This honor is reserved for programs that maintain a cumulative team GPA of 3.1 or higher, reflecting the Comets' commitment to success beyond the track.
Adding to the celebration, standout athlete Madalenn Fee earned individual recognition as a USTFCCCA All-Academic Athlete. Fee's achievement required not only a minimum GPA of 3.30, but also competitive excellence—either ranking among the top 50 nationally in her event or qualifying for the NAIA Championships. Her performances in the 3000-meter steeplechase and middle-distance events have consistently placed her among the elite, and her academic record is equally impressive.
These honors underscore Cottey's holistic approach to student-athlete development, where discipline, drive, and determination are cultivated in every arena. With accolades like these, the Comets are proving that success is a multi-lane pursuit—and they're leading the pack.
