700+ STUDENT-ATHLETES NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-CONFERENCE; FRANCISCAN REPEATS AS INSTITUTIONAL PEAK PERFORMER

On day four of NCAA Division III week, the AMCC applauds 782 student-athletes who achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher as of Fall 2013, earning the honor of being named to the 2013-14 Academic All-Conference Team.  Nearly 450 of those individuals were tabbed Individual Peak Performers by achieving a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher.  A special subset of those student-athletes were also selected for induction to Chi Alpha Sigma, the National Collegiate Student-Athlete Honor Society, which recognizes both academic performance, leadership and character.

Franciscan University landed the highest percentage of its varsity team members in AMCC championship sports on the Academic All-Conference Team--63.2%--earning the distinction of Institutional Peak Performer for the second year in a row.  The Barons also had two fall sport teams qualify as Team Peak Performers:  women's volleyball, with a 3.47 team GPA, and women's tennis, with a 3.59 team GPA.
