INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Horizon League has announced its Track and Field All-Academic Teams this afternoon, with Cleveland State junior Samantha Butterbaugh earning a spot on the 24-member team.

Butterbaugh, who has been Cleveland State's top 800 Meter and 1500 Meter runner this spring, owns a 3.92 GPA pursuing a degree in health sciences. Butterbaugh has been honored at the CSU Athletics Academic Honors luncheon every year of her Viking career, while she was also recently named the Cleveland State University Student Employee of the Year.

The Stoutsville, Ohio native has been named to the Cleveland State Dean's List five semesters – every grading period of her collegiate career.

As a three-season student-athlete, Butterbaugh also competes on the cross country team, owning multiple top-40 5K and 6K times in the CSU career record book.

The Horizon League recognizes student-athletes with Academic All-League honors in each of its 19 championship sports. To be eligible for Academic All-Horizon League consideration, a student-athlete must have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.20 or higher (based on a 4.00 scale) and have completed at least one year at the member institution, having earned 24 semester-hour or 36 quarter-hour credits.
