GREENSBORO, N.C. – Georgia Tech cross country sophomores Matt Munns and Nahom Solomon have been named to the All-ACC Academic Team, announced Thursday afternoon by the conference office.

“This is an outstanding honor for Nahom and Matt to be awarded, and both are very deserving,” head coach Alan Drosky said. “We’re very proud of them as they are great representatives of our program, the GTAA and the Institute. This award is truly a reflection of their commitment to excellence in their academics and in their sport.”
