89 students attending Daytona State College were honored among the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA)’s All-Academic Teams, the school announced this week. That number gives them the most students of any school in Florida.
Those who are honored on the All-Academic Teams are student-athletes who have completed 24 or more credit hours and who maintain a GPA of 3.6 or higher. Those who are selected wind up in one of three designations: the First Team (4.00 GPA), Second Team (3.80 to 3.99 GPA) or the Third Team (3.60 to 3.79 GPA).
“Our student-athletes excel on the field and in the classroom,” said DSC President Tom LoBasso. “Our focus on helping students be their best – at DSC and beyond – is a demonstration of our commitment to excellence in every area of their lives.”
All eleven athletic programs offered at Daytona State College had multiple participants crack the All-Academic Teams list. Baseball was the most represented sport out of the 89 athletes honored, with 18 players making the list. Next most was a tie between men’s and women’s soccer, each having 14 student-athletes making the cut. Following closely behind was softball with 13.
After those, women’s golf had seven, women’s cross country had six, women’s volleyball had five, men’s cross country had four, women’s basketball and women’s flag football had three each, and men’s basketball had two.
