NEW ORLEANS – Nine members of the Shippensburg University women's track & field program were selected to the 2011 Division II All-Academic Track & Field team. A total of 311 student-athletes representing 80 institutions compose the group.

Shippensburg's total is the second most in the conference behind Slippery Rock and ties for the third-largest total in Division II with Ashland, Southern Connecticut State and Western State.

The nine ladies that earned All-Academic designation are as follows: junior Lindsay Bingaman, sophomore Megan Breski, senior Emily Dubs, senior Laura Henzy, senior Erica Hess, senior Abby Huber, junior Amanda Raudabaugh, junior Neely Spence and sophomore Katie Spratford.
