Toledo is one of 218 women's programs and one of 360 total teams to be recognized for their academic accomplishments. To be in contention for Scholar Team of the year, each team must finish the year with at least a 3.00 cumulative team GPA. The Track and Field program posted a 3.572 GPA during the spring semester.
Lambert, Pacella and da Silva were named to the list of 752 student-athletes for their accomplishments in the classroom and in competition during the 2016-17 academic year. To qualify for the award, each must have compiled a cumulative GPA of 3.25 and have met the athletic requirement of being in the top 96 in an event during the indoor season or have competed in any round of the NCAA Championship in outdoor competition.
