ROCHESTER, NY – Liberty League commissioner Tracy King has announced that 573 fall sport student-athletes have qualified for the 2016 All-Academic Teams in their respective sports, marking the second-highest total for fall sports since the league began recognizing outstanding academic achievement. RIT had a fall record 55 student-athletes honored by the league.
The Liberty League's fall championship sports include men's and women's cross country, field hockey, football, men's and women's soccer and volleyball. To be recognized as a member of the All-Academic team a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in class standing with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30. The Liberty League elevated the GPA requirement from 3.20 to 3.30 this fall to follow the established standard for eligibility for CoSIDA Academic All-America awards.
"Academic success is a great point of pride for our Liberty League institutions and student-athletes," said King. "Even as we raised our standard this year, our student-athletes continue to demonstrate that it is possible to not only excel academically, but to achieve athletically at the highest level in Division III. I congratulate and salute them on their outstanding achievements."
