Nearly 100 UA Little Rock student-athletes have been recognized for their academic success during the 2018-19 year, with 64 student-athletes named to the 2018-19 Sun Belt Commissioner’s List while 35 others picked up Academic Honor Roll recognition.
To qualify for the Sun Belt Commissioner’s List, student-athletes needed to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, while honor roll recipients held a cumulative GPA between 3.0 and 3.49.
Baseball and soccer comprised the largest total number of honorees, fitting as they were the two Little Rock programs that were recognized as the Sun Belt Team Academic Award winners for the past season in their respective sports. Baseball landed 15 on the commissioner’s list with an additional 12 on the academic honor roll, while soccer placed 22 total student-athletes on the lists, including 20 on the commissioner’s list.
Men’s and women’s track and field and cross country combined to have 19 student-athletes recognized, 11 of which were on the commissioner’s list. Volleyball added 10 student-athletes, men’s golf registered seven, and women’s golf added six, all of which were named to the commissioner’s list.
