Troy, New York – Approximately 100 Union College student-athletes were recognized for their academic success this year by earning spots on the Liberty League spring all-academic team, the conference announced last week.
Liberty League spring championship sports include baseball, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s rowing, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and men’s and women’s track and field. To be recognized as a member of the all-academic team, a student-athlete must perform at least his sophomore year in class, have been in school for one full year, and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30. .
Spring’s 98 award recipients are just three shy of last season’s record of 101, and the 80 athletes recognized in the fall and the 26 athletes recognized in the winter add up to the Liberty League’s highest honors this year. This is the total number of student-athletes to be recognized. This marks the fourth year in a row that at least 200 student-athletes have been recognized for their academic success.
More than 58 percent (57 of 98) of Union honorees were re-selected to the All-Academic team, and nearly one-fifth (19 of 98) were selected for three consecutive seasons, the typical maximum. Ta. The nationally ranked men’s lacrosse team led all spring sports with 17 selections, followed by the baseball team, which set a team record for the second year in a row, and the track and field team with 14 each.
