BOSTON - Two members of the UAlbany track and field teams have been named America East All-Academic, the conference announced Wednesday.
 
With one from each team, Isaac Graber was honored on the men's side and Lalenii Grant won the award on the women's side.
 
Earning his first All-Academic honor, Graber medaled in two events at the 2026 America East Indoor Track and Field Championships. His first medal came from a third-place finish in the 1000m. In addition, Graber added a gold medal as a member of the 4x800m relay that broke a 14-year-old meet record. He finished the season ranked in the conference's top 10 in the 800m (eighth) and the 1000m (ninth). The mid-distance runner currently holds a 3.87 GPA while studying for his degree in political science.
 
In her first year eligible, Lalenii Grant is on the women's All-Academic Team.
