School-Record 110 Spring Student-Athletes Earn All-Academic Honors

TROY, N.Y. – A program-record 110 Union College student-athletes were recognized for academic success this year by earning spots on the Liberty League Spring All-Academic Teams, the conference announced on Tuesday.
 
The Liberty League's spring championship sports include baseball, men's and women's golf, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's rowing, softball, men's and women's tennis, and men's and women's track and field. To be recognized as a member of the All-Academic team, a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in class standing, have one year of residency at the school, and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30.

The 110 spring honorees are nine more than the previous standard of 101 set during the 2022-23 school year, and when combined with the 69 athletes recognized in the fall and the 25 honored in the winter, bring the total number of student-athletes honored by the Liberty League this year to 204, marking the fifth straight year that at least 200 student-athletes have been recognized for academic success.

More than 58 percent (57 of 98) of Union's honorees are repeat selections to the All-Academic Team, while nearly one-fifth (19 of 98) were selected for the usual maximum third straight season. The men's track & field team and the baseball team, which set a team record for the third straight season, led all spring sports with 15 honorees each, followed by the women's lacrosse team with new program record of 14 honorees. Women's track & field (13), women's crew (13) and men's lacrosse (12) all reached double figures as well this season.
