AUSTIN, TX – Johns Hopkins senior Andrew King has been named to Academic All-America Track & Cross Country Second Team, as selected by CoSIDA it was announced today. He is the only male student-athlete, of the 48 selected to the three teams, from the Centennial Conference.

To be nominated for CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA, be a sophomore or above and a starter or significant reserve. King is the sixth athlete in program history to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America honors and the first since Joshua Baker was a first team selection in 2013.
 
A two-time Academic All-District selection, King graduated last month with degrees in physics and applied math and statistics. He completed his career with a 3.95 cumulative GPA. He earned All-America honors this winter after qualifying for the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in the 3,000-meter. In the fall, King finished fifth at the Centennial Conference Championship while helping the Blue Jay cross country team claim their first title since 2013.
 
Away from the track, King has built an impressive resume. He spent time as an intern with the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab and worked as a learning assistant with the Department of Physics and Astronomy. In addition, King was a researcher with the Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science.
