COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— Four Colorado Mesa University track & field student-athletes were voted on to the First Team Academic All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference squads, recently announced for the 2025-26 indoor season by conference officials.  Autumn McQuitty, Brooke Miller and Hannah Schissler were selected for the women's team while Chase Brown represented the Maverick men.
 
The 25-athlete teams were selected by a vote of the conference's athletics communications directors, who weighed a combination of athletic and academic accomplishments.
 
The Mavericks also had 31 women and 22 men named to the RMAC All-Academic Honor Roll, all listed below.  The women's total was the highest of any RMAC squad.
 
To be eligible for nomination to the first team, student-athletes must have a 3.5 or higher GPA, be in their second year at the institution and have used a season of eligibility. 

Honor roll status requires a 3.30 or higher GPA and the meeting of the other requirements.
 
McQuitty, a junior mass communications major from Alamosa, Colorado, holds a perfect 4.00 GPA.  She has now been named to the First Team Academic All-RMAC squad five times during her cross country and track & field career.
 
She posted a career-best time of 5:08.22 in the mile at the Don Kirby Elite Invitational to rank fourth in program history for that discipline and qualified for the RMAC Championships.
 
Miller has now earned three total First Team Academic All-RMAC honors in her career.  The nursing major from Homer, Alaska has a 3.97 GPA.  She took fourth in the 800 meters at the RMAC Indoor Championships to earn Second Team All-RMAC accolades on the track.
 
Now a 4-time All-RMAC performer, Miller also had a season-best time of 2:14.95 in the 800 at the New Mexico Team Open and helped the Mavs smash the school record with a time of 11:48.60 in the distance medley relay at the GVSU Big Meet before also helping the Mavs take fifth in that relay at the RMAC Championships.
 
Schissler, a sophomore studio art major from Carr, Colorado, earned a pair of All-RMAC honors on the track this season, placing third in the 200 and fifth in the 60 meters at the conference championship meet while leading the Maverick women with ten team points. 
 
Selected to the First Team Academic All-RMAC squad in her first opportunity of eligibility, Schissler had career-best times of 24.63 and 7.69 seconds in those events throughout the season, ranking fifth in program history for the 200 and tenth in the 60.
 
Brown, civil engineering major with 4.00 GPA, earned his sixth career First Team Academic-All RMAC honor.
 
He set career-best times of 4:13.93 (mile) and 8:29.47 (3K) to rank third in program history with those times.  He won the 3K at that meet and later helped the Mavs take fifth in the distance medley relay at the RMAC Championships.  The Mavs posted an NCAA provisional qualifying time of 10:23.41, third fastest in school history in the relay.
