Mostafa Hassan has added yet another accolade to the final year of his career at Colorado State.

The former NCAA National Champion has been named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association (USTFCCCA) Indoor Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Hassan recently graduated from CSU with a degree in mechanical engineering and finished with a 3.37 cumulative GPA.

Hassan is now the 18th Ram to earn an individual all-academic honor. No other athlete in CSU history has received this honor from the USTFCCCA. Student-athletes must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 to be eligible for USTFCCCA All-Academic honors. Student athletes must also finish the indoor season ranked among the top 96 in their individual events or compete in any round of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships which includes preliminaries.

Senior Jerrell Mock also received all-academic honors. Mock was named a Google Cloud Academic All-American for the second consecutive year.

In addition to the announcement of Hassan’s accolade, the USTFCCCA announced that both the men’s and women’s track and field team were named all-academic teams. To qualify for the honor, teams must have competed at their respective national championships and maintained a team GPA of at least 3.0. The women’s team finished with a higher GPA than the men’s team with a 3.32 while the men recorded a 3.09 GPA.

The USTFCCCA also ranked CSU No. 9 in its program of the year standings. CSU finished the 2017 indoor season with a 16th-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships, the second-best finish in program history.
