Director of Athletics Milton Overton Jr. praised academic success of the baseball
players.
“We bring our athletes here first and foremost for an
education,” Overton said. “We are
extremely proud of the job these young men have done in the classroom. This is a testament to good recruiting from
[Head Coach Jamey Shouppe] and his staff and our academic support staff who
have made sure the learning environment is conducive to success of our
student-athlete.”
MEAC sophomore, junior and senior student-athletes with a 3.0 or better cumulative grade point average (GPA), as well as transfer student-athletes who have been in residence at the institution for at least one year, are eligible for All-Academic accolades.
“I would like to congratulate our baseball student-athletes
who have maintained a 3.0 or better grade point average during this academic
school year,” said MEAC Commissioner Dennis E. Thomas. “In addition to
recognizing the student-athletes' achievements, I also commend the
institutions' academic support staffs, coaches and parents for their support in
the success of these student-athletes both on the field and in the classroom.”
