A school-record 158 Tusculum College student-athletes have been named to the 2015-2016 South Atlantic Conference (SAC) Commissioner’s Honor Roll. The conference had 1,555 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 & field.
The 158 SAC Commissioner Honor Roll student-athletes are the most by Tusculum since joining the conference in 1999. Tusculum has finished in the top-half of the league in regards to honor roll selections every season in its 17-year association with the conference.
Queens University of Charlotte led the league with 164 student-athletes on the honor roll. Tusculum finished second with 158 honorees, followed by Lenoir-Rhyne (148), Newberry (142), Lincoln Memorial (134), Carson-Newman (133), Wingate (133), Catawba (122), Anderson (117), Coker (109), Mars Hill (111) and Brevard (88).
“SAC student-athletes are among the most well-rounded individuals on their respective campuses,” said SAC Commissioner Patrick Britz. “I’m extremely proud of the efforts made by our student-athletes and support staffs in making 2015-16 another record-breaking year in the classroom. We had over 226 more honorees this year than in 2014-15 so I think it’s safe say our vision of preparing our student-athletes academically as well as athletically is a reality.”
The SAC Commissioner’s Honor Roll showcases the league 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 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans Carlie Thornber (women’s soccer), Jonathan Spicher (men’s soccer), Brad Hawkins (men’s golf), Jonas Winkelmann (men’s tennis), Nick Forsberg (men’s golf), Calley Lawson (women’s golf) and Franziska Funke (women’s tennis). Winkelmann, Forsberg and Erin Mills (women’s tennis) were named their respective sport’s SAC Scholar Athlete of the Year.
