AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Augusta University women's and men's outdoor track and field teams combined to land five student-athletes on the 2017 Peach Belt Conference All-Academic teams. Sophomore Daniel Broadhead represented the Jaguar men and sophomores Macy Hayes, Sarah Hossack, junior Diana Petrmicholva, and senior Morgan Ryffe represented the women's squad.
Student-athletes are eligible for the award after one full year of competition. Broadhead (Jesup, Ga.,) Hayes, Hossack and Petrmichlova grabbed their first PBC All-Academic award, while Ryffe roped in the third of her career.

The Peach Belt Conference Sports Information Directors oversee the program.
