SEC Recognizes Academic Excellence
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A total of 71 Vanderbilt student-athletes were named to the 2019‐20 First‐Year SEC Academic Honor Roll, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey announced Tuesday.
The Vanderbilt football program led the list with 11 selections while baseball followed that with an impressive 10 student-athletes. Vandy lacrosse totaled nine selections followed by swimming and track and field with six each, soccer and women’s basketball with five each and the men’s basketball and women’s cross country programs with four student-athletes each.
The women’s golf (3), women’s tennis (3), men’s golf (2), men’s tennis (2) and bowling (1) all also contributed to the Commodores’ impressive mark.
The First‐Year SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2019‐20 academic calendar. Any student‐athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport or a student‐athlete who participates in a sport listed on his/her institution’s NCAA Sports Sponsorship Form is eligible for nomination to the Academic Honor Roll.
The following criteria was followed: (1) A student‐athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution. (2) If a student‐athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the Academic Honor Roll. (3) Student‐athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner), and nonscholarship student‐athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. (4) Prior to being nominated, a student‐athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non‐remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution. (5) The student‐athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport’s entire NCAA Championship segment.
First year student‐athletes in all sports may be named to the Honor Roll at the conclusion of their first full academic year in residence (spring, fall and summer terms).
