INDIANAPOLIS- The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) announced its 2011-12 Academic All-GLVC selections Wednesday, with the University of Indianapolis topping the 16-school league with 158 honorees.

UIndy, which also won the conference's All-Sports Trophy this season, was one of only four institutions with more than 150 Academic All-GLVC winners.  Two Greyhound athletic teams led their particular sport, with women's track & field garnering 30 honorees and women's soccer earning 22.  Click here for a breakdown by sport.

Combined with its 58 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) All-Academic selections in football and men's and women's swimming & diving and seven others tabbed by the NCAA Division II Wrestling Coaches Association, UIndy tallied a grand total of 216 student-athletes on all-academic honor rolls for the 2011-12 season.

A record 1,677 student-athletes earned Academic All-GLVC honors this year.  The increase of 199 student-athletes from last season also pushed the average number of awards per institution over 100 for the first time in conference history.  The year-end total marked an average of 104.8 selections for the 16 conference members, besting the 98.5 and 82.8 averages over the past two seasons, respectively.

The Academic All-GLVC honor is bestowed upon student-athletes that have completed two semesters at their institution and maintained a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average or have attained a 3.40 GPA over the two most recent semesters. Student-athletes that have attained a 3.40 GPA and not completed two semesters are also honored.
