Colorado School of Mines earned 10 First-Team All-America, 11 Second-Team All-America, and 17 All-South Central Region spots thanks to outstanding performances during the indoor season. Mines had seven student-athletes earn two all-America honors led by
Grace Strongman, who earned first-team finishes in both the 3,000m and 5,000m races.
