In the 2017-18 campaign, Memphis tied its own American Athletic Conference record with six Team Academic Excellence Awards. The six programs receiving recognition were women's cross country, men's golf, men's soccer, women's soccer, men's indoor track and field and men's outdoor track and field. The Tigers also earned six league Team Academic Excellence Awards in 2013-14. Since 2013-14, Memphis has 26 total AAC Team Academic Excellence Awards.
Wednesday's AAC All-Academic Team announcement wraps up another stellar semester in the classroom for the Tigers.
