Over the past 10 years, Jacksonville captured 13 ASUN Championships (7 Indoor, 6 Outdoor) and lead the ASUN with 16 NCAA qualifiers. To be named to the All-Decade Team individuals must have competed for at least two years in the decade as an ASUN student-athlete. Exceptions made for NCAA All-Americans. Individuals that obtained one of the following criteria were named to the team: three First Team All-Conference selections in Single Event, five total First Team All-Conference selections (including relays), multiple superlative awards or be an NCAA Championship individual participant.
"I'm proud of the accomplishments of each of the Dolphins named to the All Decade Team," Director of Track and Field, Ron Grigg said.
