Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) student-athlete Madeline Dery of Putnam Valley has earned recognition as part of the 2015 Liberty League Fall All-Academic Cross Country Team. Student-athletes must have at least sophomore athletic and academic standing at Rensselaer with a minimum grade point average of 3.20 to be selected. The fall sports include men's and women's cross country, field hockey, football and men's and women's soccer. Among those recognized from RPI were 67 student-athletes: 21 from football, 14 from men's soccer, 10 from men's cross country, eight from women's cross country and women's soccer and six from field hockey.

"Academic success is a great point of pride for our Liberty League institutions and student-athletes," said Liberty League Commissioner Tracy King. "Our student-athletes continue to demonstrate that it is possible to not only excel academically, but to achieve athletically at the highest level in Division III. The number qualifying for the All-Academic Teams seems to increase almost every year. I congratulate and salute them on their outstanding achievements."
