UMBC junior Adam Grossman was selected to the 2005 CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Men’s Track & Field/Cross Country University All-District II team, becoming the only junior out of 10 spots to earn the accolades. Grossman, who joined nine seniors on the all-district team from the Mid-Atlantic corridor, earned the honors after winning four conference championships during the indoor and outdoor track and field seasons this past year while holding a 3.80 cumulative GPA in environmental sciences.

Grossman became a back-to-back conference champion in the indoor 55m dash and captured three events at the outdoor America East Conference championships, winning the 100m dash, 200m dash and anchoring the winning 4x100m relay team. Grossman’s time in the 200m dash shattered the conference record, while his time in the 100m dash was 0.01 seconds off the conference mark. He was honored with the Most Outstanding Male Performer of the Meet and the Coaches Award for scoring the most individual points at the conference championships.

He also placed ninth in the 100m dash open at the highly competitive Penn Relays and finished second in the 100m dash at the IC4A/ECAC outdoor meet and compete at the NCAA East Regionals.

Grossman was named America East Track Scholar Athlete for the 2003-04 Indoor and 2004 Outdoor season last year. He holds two 4.0 semesters, four dean’s list semesters and five semester accolades during his three-year career and was named UMBC Male Scholar Athlete of the year in 2005.
