SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Davidson landed a league-high 270 student-athletes on the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll for the 2010-11 academic year, the conference office announced Monday.
A total of 1,985 students were recognized, the most honorees since the inception of the honor roll, surpassing the previous high set a year ago.
The average GPA of the 1,985 student-athletes was 3.45, and forty-four percent of the recognized student-athletes achieved at least a 3.5 grade point average, including eighty students who posted a 4.0.
Those 871 student-athletes who attained a 3.5 GPA or higher were further honored with the Commissioner's Medal.
Seven of the 12 schools increased their numbers from the previous year, including Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Elon, Furman, Chattanooga and Wofford. Appalachian State had the second most honorees with 203, followed by Elon (198), Wofford (195) and College of Charleston (177).
