BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Student-athletes in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) continue to achieve in both athletics and the classroom. On Thursday, the MIAC announced its Academic All-Conference honorees for the 2024-25 fall semester, including 870 student-athletes. The previous fall-sport high was 799, set in the 2023-24 academic year.
To qualify for Academic All-MIAC status, student-athletes must be sophomores, juniors, or seniors by academic standards with a minimum cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. Students must also complete one full-time academic year at their current institution before becoming eligible for the honor.
To meet the athletic qualifications, an individual must be a member of a MIAC-sponsored varsity sports team, be academically and athletically eligible, have utilized a season of participation per NCAA and MIAC definitions, and have remained on the sports roster through the conclusion of the sports season to be eligible for Academic All-Conference honors.
The total number of Academic All-MIAC honorees for fall sports has increased every year since 2011. Football led all fall sports this year with a record 237 honorees - 44 more than last year. Both women's and men's soccer also set new sport highs; women's soccer had 181 honorees this past fall, surpassing its previous record of 169, while men's soccer had 136 honorees, up 11 from last fall. The 96 honorees in men's cross country represented a new high for the sport as well. Volleyball totaled 117 honorees - one shy of the all-time record set in 2021 - while women's cross country totaled 103 honorees to reach triple digits for the fifth consecutive season.
