Annually, NJCAA honors teams with a 3.0 grade point average or higher. This year, Crowder Basketball topped the charts with a 3.36 gpa, followed by softball at 3.26, baseball at 3.13 and soccer with 3.08. This marks the first time all four teams have been recognized at the same time.
Students earning recognition have to earn a minimum 3.6 gpa for 3rd team, 3.80-3.99 for 2nd team and 4.0 for 1st team. Crowder student-athletes achieved four 1st team, eleven 2nd team, and fifteen 3rd team honors. This accolade marks the highest number of student-athletes earning recognition by NJCAA.
“We strive to recruit athletes who will perform on the field and in the classroom. These young student-athletes have proven themselves to be academically outstanding and we are proud of their accomplishments,” stated John Sisemore, Crowder Athletic Director/Softball coach.
