GSC Announces 2017-18 Winter Academic Awards
2017-18 GSC WINTER ACADEMIC HONOR ROLL
2017-18 GSC WINTER ALL-ACADEMIC TEAMS
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Gulf South Conference is proud to announce the academic awards for the 2017-18 winter season.
The two winter sports honored and men's and women's basketball, and each team honored five student-athletes.
Academic All-GSC Teams are selected by the Gulf South Conference Sports Information Directors (SIDs) and Faculty Athletic Representatives (FARs) in a joint vote. Nominees must have an overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.20 or better on a 4.00 scale for their entire academic career and may not be freshmen or first-semester or quarter transfers. The student-athlete must be a significant contributor to the squad. Other factors include leadership, community service and extra-curricular activities. SIDs and FARs are not allowed to vote for their own student-athletes. The number of student-athletes selected in each sport is determined by the number of positions normally involved in the playing of that sport. Ties are not broken.
There are a pair of three-time honorees in the group: Christian Brothers'
Jeff Larkin and Lee's
Erin Walsh.
Larkin and Walsh were each named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans earlier this month.
Additionally, two student-athletes (Valdosta State's
Beau Justice and
Kenya Samone' Dixon) are receiving the honor for the second time.
For the fifth straight year, Lee had the most female honor roll sections, while UAH had the most overall honorees.
