EAST LANSING, Mich. - For the second consecutive year, Nathan Egger has been named to the Academic All-America men's track and field/cross country team. Egger, who earned third-team honors, compiled a 3.97 grade-point average in physiology.

The Mason, Mich., native received the President's Award - awarded to the top graduating male athlete at MSU - earlier this spring at the annual academic gala.

Last year, Egger became just the third Spartan in the men's track and field program to earn Academic All-America honors, as he was named to third team. Egger is the first back-to-back Academic All-American in MSU men's track and field history.
