BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Four hundred twenty-nine student-athletes across four sports were named to the Winter 2022-23 Gulf South Conference Academic Honor Roll, as announced by the office. The sports honored included men's and women's basketball as well as men's and women's track & field.
To achieve honor roll status, a student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or better and have competed in outside competition at the time the award was announced.
The GSC also announced its All-Academic teams for the four winter sports.
In order to be named to the GSC All-Academic team, nominees must have a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or better their entire academic career at their institution and may not be a freshmen or first-term transfer. The student-athlete must also be a significant contributor to the team. Other factors include leadership, community service and extracurricular activities. Institutions are not allowed to vote for their own student-athletes. The number of student-athletes selected in each sport is determined by the number of positions normally involved in the playing of that sport. Ties are not broken.
