NEW ORLEANS – Three members of the Boise State women’s cross country team – Minttu Hukka, Allie Ostrander and Brenna Peloquin – were named to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I Women’s All-Academic Team on Friday.

Peloquin, a freshman from Gig Harbor, Wash., is majoring in health science. The Broncos were three of 20 women on the list to have 4.0 GPAs.
The trio was also recently named to the Fall 2015 Academic All-Mountain West Team just last week.
