Eastern Mennonite University put 105 men and women on the Old Dominion Athletic Conference All-Academic Team, which set a new high mark of honorees for the Royals. The 2017-18 list was released today by the ODAC.<\/p>\n

EMU’s total of 105 is 13 more than last year and eclipsed the previous high of 103 set in 2015-16. This is just the second time in the history of the award that Eastern Mennonite has earned more than 100 honorees.<\/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. 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

All 16 of EMU\u2019s ODAC-sponsored sports were represented on the All-Academic Team.\u00a0 Men\u2019s volleyball competes in the Continental Volleyball Conference which\u00a0fields its own academic team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A total of 1,994 student-athletes earned a spot on the 2017-18 ODAC All-Academic Team, the second-highest total ever and down just slightly from last year’s record high of 2,001 honorees. Representatives from each of the conference’s 16 member institutions — 14 full-time and two associates — pushed the squad’s total over 1,000 for the 12th consecutive year.<\/p>\n

Washington and Lee University placed the most student-athletes on the list with 370 individuals on the academic team. In total, 10 ODAC-member schools eclipsed 100 honorees.<\/p>\n
