PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A total of 13 student-athletes representing indoor track and field programs from the American Athletic Conference claimed 2020 All-America honors from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), the USTFCCCA announced on Tuesday.
 
As a result of the cancellation of the 2020 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships, the USTFCCCA adjusted the selection criteria for All-America status to encompass all individual student-athletes and the four student-athletes on relay lineups that were included on the official championships start list. Six men and seven women from institutions competing in The American were tabbed to USTFCCCA Division I All-America teams.
