The NCAA has awarded Morehead State $300,000 for its third year of the Accelerating Academic Success Program grant. MSU was originally scheduled to receive $120,000, but a recent decision pushed the department to fully-funded level for 2015-16.

The Morehead State men's and women's cross country programs have both been named All-Academic Teams by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
