With 106 student-athletes named to the Old Dominion Athletic Conference All-Academic Team, Eastern Mennonite University broke its own record for the 2018-19 academic year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Royals’ total of 106 is one more than last year’s 105, which had been the high mark. After eclipsing triple digits for the first time in 2015-16, Eastern Mennonite has now broken 100 honorees three out of the past four seasons.<\/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

This coming year, EMU is adding women’s lacrosse as an ODAC sport, while women’s triathlon, the Royals’ other new sport and 19th total, will compete without conference affiliation.<\/p>\n

A total of 2,094 student-athletes earned a spot on the 2018-19 ODAC All-Academic Team, the highest total ever, breaking the previous record of 2,001 honorees from 2016-17. For the second straight year, 10 ODAC-member schools eclipsed 100 honorees, pushing the squad’s total over 1,000 for the 13th consecutive year.<\/p>\n
