COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference announced the 2025-26 Indoor Men's Track & Field Academic All-RMAC Team and the RMAC Academic Honor Roll on Thursday afternoon. The league recognized 25 individuals as First Team Academic All-RMAC and in total 200 received Academic Honor Roll recognition. The Black Hills State University men's indoor track & field team saw First Team All-American,
Drew Lehman, earn a spot on the First Team Academic All-RMAC list, while he was also joined by 11 teammates on the RMAC Academic Honor Roll.
Lehman had one of the best indoor track & field seasons in program history, breaking a 50-year old school record in the triple jump, ranking second in school history in the long jump and posting the best mark in the event in 31 years, and lastly running the seventh-best time in program history in the 60m dash. He first broke the school's triple jump record at the Dave Little Alumni Mile with a jump of 14.69m (48' 2.5"), and he then re-broke that mark at the CSC Don Holst Open as he became the first Yellow Jacket to jump better than 50' with a mark of 15.26m (50' 0.75"). During the season his mark of 7.16m (23' 6") that ranks second in program history in the long jump also occurred in the Donald E. Young Center Fieldhouse in the Myrle Hanson Open, and then his career-best time of 7.04 for the seventh-fastest time in the 60m dash occurred at the SDSU Indoor Classic. He earned First Team All-RMAC honors in both the long jump and the triple jump, as he notched a mark of 7.08m (23' 2.75") for second place in the long jump and then added a mark of 14.92m (48' 11.5") for third place in the triple jump. He then advanced on to nationals as he earned First Team All-American honors with an eighth place finish and mark of 15.07m (49' 5.5") in the triple jump. Prior to this season no BHSU athlete had ever jumped further than 48' in the triple jump, however, Lehman did so on four different occasions. He posted a total of four individual event wins (3 long jump and 1 triple jump), while also tallying nine top-5 finishes and 11 top-10 finishes. In the classroom Lehman is pursuing a degree in biology.

The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes in each conference-sponsored sport who academically maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average, have completed two consecutive semesters at their current institution, and have used a season of competition.
Each institution's athletic communications directors nominate student-athletes who academically maintain at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average, along with the other criteria for the Academic Honor Roll, for recognition on the First Team Academic All-RMAC in each sport. The league's athletic communications directors for that sport vote to compose the First Team Academic All-RMAC and select the Academic Player of the Year. They are not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
