Mid-American Conference

MAC ANNOUNCES DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR ATHLETES
210 Students honored in voting by conference Faculty Athletic Representatives
 
Cleveland, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference announced today the Distinguished Scholar Athletes from the seven fall sports during this 2015-16 academic season as 210 students were voted by faculty athletic representatives at MAC institutions representing the ‘best of the best’ from each sports Academic All-MAC Teams. 
 
Leading the way were 49 MAC women’s soccer students named as Distinguished Scholar Athletes.  MAC football students had 46 selections, while women’s volleyball had 27 selections and cross country had 25 honorees. MAC field hockey had 24 selections, while men’s soccer added 22 and men’s cross country had 17 students.
 
The Distinguished Scholar Athlete is a second-year award given to students who have excelled in athletics and academics.  Following each season from the fall sports schedule, any student with a 3.20 GPA and participation in at least 50 percent of the contests was automatically named to the previously announced Academic All-MAC Team from each sport.  Also, first-year students and junior college transfers in their first year of residence were not eligible for the award.
 
From the Academic All-MAC Teams, the faculty athletic representatives selected the ‘best of the best’ of our Academic All-MAC Teams to be honored with Distinguished Scholar Athlete Award for the 2015-16 season.  The number of Distinguished Scholar Athletes from each sport were equivalent to the number of first-team selections or 33% of nominees, whichever was greater.
 
Later this winter and spring, the MAC will announce the Distinguished Scholar Athletes from the remaining 16 winter and spring sports sponsored by the Conference.
