Adam Davis of Rice University and Lindsay Gallo of the University of Michigan head the 2003-04 Academic All-America Men's and Women's Track and Field/Cross Country teams announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Davis and Lindsay were named Academic All-America of the Year for the university division on the men's and women's teams, respectively. Adam Copeland of the University of the South and Kristen Shields of Whitworth College earned those honors in the college division.

Davis garnered track and field all-America honors for the third time after finishing eighth in the 1,500 meters at the 2004 NCAA Division I Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships. He is an NCAA postgraduate scholarship recipient and a two-time recipient of the Hubert E. Bray Scholar Athlete Award (presented to the Rice male student-athlete with the highest grade-point average).

Gallo, also a 1,500-meter specialist, earned all-America honors at the 2004 NCAA Division I Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a fourth-place finish in the event. Earlier in the spring, she won the 1,500 at the NCAA Mideast regional with her time of 4:11.27, second best in school history. She became the fourth female to win both the 800 and 1,500 at the Big Ten Conference outdoor championships. She earned a pair of all-America honors indoors, including the mile after a sixth-place finish at the nationals.

Copeland, valedictorian at Sewanee (University of the South), is a three-time Academic All-American who has earned a distinguished university fellowship to pursue graduate studies in economics at Ohio State University. He was the captain of Sewanee's track team and a member of the school-record 1,600-meter relay team.

Shield was the NCAA Division III national champion in the 100 meters, and also an all-American in the 200 after placing sixth in that event at the outdoor meet. She set school records in both events. Shields earned the school's prestigious Spurlock Award and the President's Cup Award.

Of the 31 first-team selections on the men's team, seven had perfect career GPAs. Half of the 30 women's first-team honorees own perfect GPAs, and 12 others are at 3.900 or higher.

The Academic All-America Teams program honors 816 male and female student-athletes annually who have succeeded at the highest level on the playing field and in the classroom. Individuals are selected through voting by the 2,000-member CoSIDA. Nominees must be a varsity starters or key reserves, maintain a cumulative GPAs of 3.200 (4.000 scale), have reached sophomore athletics and academic standing at his or her current institution and be nominated by his or her sports information director.

Since the program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 14,000 student-athletes in all NCAA championship sports.
