Standing tall among their peers in the classroom, 16 AMCC teams proudly exemplify the balanced values of NCAA Division III athletics participation. They are the winners of the Team Peak Performer award as holders of the highest cumulative team GPA, effective with the close of the Fall 2015 semester, in each championship sport sponsored by the conference.
Franciscan University led all AMCC members with four Team Peak Performers, followed by Penn State Altoona and Medaille College with three each. Three schools--D'Youville College, Penn St. Behrend, and Mount Aloysius College--had two each.
Three teams earned the distinction of being named Peak Performer as well as winning a conference championship: Franciscan women's volleyball, Penn St. Behrend women's tennis, and Medaille men's volleyball. The Franciscan women's cross country squad boasted the highest GPA of all 16 teams, with a 3.642.
