Despite the spring sports season being cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic, thirty-seven Montgomery County Community College student-athletes were recently recognized for their outstanding academic performance.
The eighteen MCCC students are part of Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference’s 2020 All-Athletic Academic Team for the spring semester. To be eligible, full-time students need to have a GPA of 3.25 or higher.
Meanwhile, nineteen other student-athletes were named to the 2020 Mustangs Academic Team. Eligibility for the team requires a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Mustangs Athletic Director Kelly Dunbar praised all thirty-seven student-athletes, noting that they continued to deliver in the classroom even during these unprecedented times.
“I can’t say enough about our student-athletes,” said Dunbar. “This has been a difficult time for everyone, but especially for student-athletes, who are required to maintain their eligibility status, which adds an extra layer.”
To be eligible to play a sport, student-athletes have to maintain a 2.0 GPA and earn 12 credits per every full-time semester taken.
Men’s Basketball Coach Nyere Miller also praised the work of each student.
“I think it shows our student-athletes resilience and willingness to accept new challenges and adapt,” said Miller. “They always put their best foot forward and this is a testament to that.”
