Burdick named Academic All-American
6/27/2019 12:51:00 PM | Men's Cross Country
Jackrabbit senior Kyle Burdick was named to the Google Cloud Academic All-America Third Team for Division I men's track & field and cross country, announced Thursday by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Â
The senior from Rapid City was one of three Summit League performers to earn All-America distinction, posting a 3.79 undergraduate GPA and a 4.00 graduate GPA in Natural Resource Law Enforcement.
Â
Athletically, Burdick finished his Jackrabbit career earlier this month at the NCAA West Outdoor Track and Field Preliminaries, finishing 14th in the 1,500m quarterfinals (3:43.14) and 46th in the 5,000m quarters (14:51.26). It was his third-consecutive trip to the NCAA preliminary rounds.
Â
Burdick, who earned a spot on the All-America ballot after earning Academic All-District 6 honors in early June, qualified for the NCAA outdoor national championship in 2017, finishing 13th in the 1500m (3:43.78).
Â
He is the first runner in Summit League history to earn three outdoor championship MVP honors (2017-19) in his career and earned indoor MVP recognition in 2019. The 2017 Second Team All-American finished with 10 career league championships (six indoor, four outdoor) and this season helped the Jackrabbits to their first indoor conference title since 1991.
Â
Burdick is a two-time NCAA All-Region performer in cross country and earned an All-League First Team nod three times. He has been a part of three cross country team championships, and in 2018 finished second overall (behind teammate Chaso Cayo).
