Three members of the Nebraska Wesleyan men's track and field team have been named to the Academic All-District VII First Team in the College Division and will now be considered for ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors, which will be announced on June 25. In addition, two women from NWU made the Academic All-District VII Second Team for track and field/cross country.

Nebraska Wesleyan coaches hoped to be sending their normal contingent of between 12 and 20 student-athletes to the 2007 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships this weekend. However, closed roads and interstates late last week made a trip to Iowa State University impossible and eliminated their final opportunity to qualify. As a result, only eight Prairie Wolves are traveling to the national meet, which starts tomorrow at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Ind.
