Huskies honored for Academics

GLIAC – The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference has announced its All-Academic and All-Academic Excellence Teams for all 2022-23 Spring Sports, and 58 Michigan Tech student-athletes earned recognition. 

Criteria states that the student-athlete must be an active member on the roster at the end of the season, not a freshman or a first-year transfer student. GLIAC All-Academic teams are comprised of those student-athletes that meet the criteria and carry a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0-3.49.

GLIAC Academic Excellence teams are comprised of student-athletes that have a cumulative GPA of 3.50-4.0. Grades are based on marks from the 2022 Spring semester.

A total of 827 student-athletes achieved All-Academic recognition in the conference, including 312 on the All-Academic team and 515 on the All-Excellence list.
