The University Athletic Association has announced its fall listing of student-athletes to be honored with All-Academic accolades. The fall academic honor roll includes 547 student-athletes representing teams participating in the three men's and three women's fall sports for which the UAA sponsors competition.
On the list, Rochester was represented with 51 athletes across the five UAA sponsored fall sports. Leading the way was men's cross country with 14 honoress. Both men's and women's soccer had 12 athletes make the list with women's soccer adding eight names. Volleyball chipped in five athletes to the pool.
Within the UAA, All-Academic recognition is awarded to student-athletes who have completed at least one full year of college study and who carry a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.300. The 3.300 minimum cumulative grade point average is the same academic standard used as a qualifying threshold by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for the nomination of Academic All-America candidates in all sports.
The 547 recipients of UAA All-Academic recognition represent approximately 58 percent of the total eligible UAA student-athletes — members of all teams who have completed at least one year of undergraduate study. Percentages varied by institution with a high of 64 percent of eligible student-athletes earning All-Academic honors. Percentages among sports varied with a high of 73 percent of eligible cross country runners receiving All-Academic recognition.
