2012-13 Academic All-GLVC Team
INDIANAPOLIS – The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) announced its 2012-13 Academic All-GLVC selections Wednesday, with the University of Indianapolis topping the 16-school league for the second season in a row with 186 honorees.
UIndy, which also won the conference's
All-Sports Trophy for the second year in a row, had 21 more honorees than the next closest institution. Two Greyhound athletic teams led their particular sport, with women's track & field garnering 34 honorees and men's soccer earning 19.
The GLVC announced that exactly 2,000 student-athletes have garnered Academic All-GLVC honors for the 2012-13 season. After setting a new conference record with 1,680 honorees a year ago, the GLVC's member schools shattered the mark this season as representatives from the league's 18 sports met the Academic-All Conference criteria.
The increase of 320 student-athletes was aided by the addition of football in 2012, which boasted 144 honorees and included a combined 18 selections from GLVC associate members Central State University and Urbana University. The balance, however, still equated to an 11-honoree average bump per school. Not counting the 18 associate member selections, the 1,982 honorees from full-time GLVC members averaged out to 124 selections per school, which also broke last season's record average of 105. Prior to last year, the per-school averages had been 98.5 in 2010-11 and 82.8 in 2009-10.
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.
