DAVIDSON, N.C. — The Southern Conference announced that 14 student-athletes from Davidson College representing four different sports have been named to the Academic All-Conference team for the 2007-8 winter season. A total of 137 student-athletes, representing all Southern Conference institutions, were named to the team.
The 137 student-athletes averaged a 3.56 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
To be eligible, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average entering the winter season and have competed in at least one-half of their team's competitions during the winter.
The Wildcat women's indoor track and field team boasted five recipients of the award, the most of any Davidson winter sports teams. The women's basketball team was next with four representatives, while the men's indoor track and field (3) and wrestling team (2) rounded out the winter sports.
This is the sixth year that the Southern Conference has named an all-academic team by season.
