The Old Dominion Athletic Conference has announced its All-Academic Team for the 2011-12 season, and Eastern Mennonite University saw an increase to 61 student-athletes earning a spot.\u00a0 Last year 53 Royals were named to the team.<\/p>\n

Each of EMU\u2019s sports was represented on the ODAC All-Academic Team except for men\u2019s volleyball, which competes in the Continental Volleyball Conference.\u00a0 The CVC will also release an all-academic team later this summer.<\/p>\n

The full ODAC All-Academic Team eclipsed 1,000 student-athletes for the sixth consecutive year and set a new high-water mark for conference honorees for the third year in a row.\u00a0 With representatives from each of the 17 ODAC institutions (including Catholic University for football only, Greensboro College and Notre Dame of Maryland University for swimming only, and Shenandoah University for field hockey and track & field only), 1,350 student-athletes earned recognition on the 2011-12 ODAC All-Academic Team.<\/p>\n

Eligibility for the ODAC All-Academic Team is open to any student-athlete that competes in a conference-sponsored sport, regardless of academic class.\u00a0 He or she must achieve at least a 3.25 grade point average for the year to be considered for an ODAC All-Academic Award.<\/p>\n
