One-hundred-and-twenty-nine Tusculum College student-athletes have been named to the 2014-2015 South Atlantic Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll. The conference had 1,329 student-athletes honored for their achievements in the classroom.
The SAC Commissioner’s Honor Roll recognizes those student-athletes who carry at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average and have completed at least one season in the sports of football, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field.
The 129 SAC Commissioner Honor Roll student-athletes are the most by Tusculum since joining the conference in 1999. The College has finished in the top-half of the league in regards to honor roll selections every season in its 16-year association with the conference.
Tusculum’s 129 honorees are the fourth-most of the 12 league members. Queens University of Charlotte led the way with 138 honorees, followed by Lenoir-Rhyne University (136), Carson-Newman University (136), Tusculum, Wingate University (123), Mars Hill University (118), Coker College (114), Catawba College (110), Anderson University (98), Lincoln Memorial University (95) and Brevard College (83).
The SAC Commissioner’s Honor Roll showcases the SAC member institutions’ commitment to achieving high levels of success both academically and athletically, as multiple sport-related award winners also garnered the distinction.
Tusculum honorees include Capital One Academic All-Americans® Lukas Winkelmann (men’s tennis), Jonas Winkelmann (men’s tennis), Calley Lawson (women’s golf) and David Cooper (men’s cross country). Lukas Winkelmann and David Cooper were named their respective sport’s SAC Scholar Athlete of the Year, as were Nick Forsberg (men’s golf) and Kate Hutchinson (women’s tennis). Lukas Winkelmann also received the SAC President’s Award, the highest honor the conference bestows on a student-athlete.
