Courtney Massengale earns her third-straight All-Academic plaudit while Devanique Brown, Bianca Bryant and Destiny Mack-Talalemotu make it back-to-back honors, and Kennedy Hardemion earns her second appearance on the individual team. A total of 448 women earned USTFCCCA All-Academic honors during the 2018-19 track & field seasons, 14 of which are from CCAA institutions. The five honorees are the most of any other CCAA school.
 
To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic award, student-athletes must have compiled a cumulative GPA of 3.25 and have reached a provisional or automatic qualifying standard for the NCAA Championships in either the indoor or outdoor season. In order to earn All-Academic honors, teams had to earn a 3.0 GPA or better. In total, 209 programs were honored by the USTFCCCA for their academic achievements.
