The conference named 241 outstanding academic student-athletes from the fall sports (M/W Soccer, Women’s Volleyball, M/W Cross Country). Park University Gilbert had 33 student athletes on the list.
To be eligible for selection, nominees must meet GSAC’s academic standards, which include being a sophomore or above in academic standing, maintaining a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 on a 4.00 scale—without rounding—and satisfying enrollment requirements.
