CHESTNUT HILL, Mass.— Boston College senior Sean Burke was named to the 2018 All-ACC Academic Men's Cross Country Team, announced Thursday by the league office.

The ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards were established in September of 2007 to be awarded annually to the top junior or senior student-athlete in their respective sports.

Minimum academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one's academic career. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.

The ACC Honor Roll, which recognizes all conference student-athletes with a grade point average of 3.0 for the current academic year, will be released in July.

Burke will be in competition this weekend at the NEICAAA Indoor Track Championships, competing in the mile.
