MIAC celebrates fall sport student-athletes with Academic All-Conference distinction

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Student-athletes in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) continue to achieve in both athletics and the classroom. On Wednesday, the MIAC announced its Academic All-Conference honorees for the 2025-26 fall semester, including 850 student-athletes.
 
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 participated in a season of competition as defined by the NCAA and MIAC, and have remained on the sports roster through the conclusion of the sports season to be eligible for Academic All-Conference honors.
 
Football led all fall sports this year with a record 219 honorees, exceeding 200 honorees for the second year in a row. Women's soccer also eclipsed the 200 mark, setting a new sport record with 207 this fall - 26 more than the previous high of 181 set last year. Women's cross country had 116 honorees, while volleyball had 110, and men's soccer had 104. Men's cross country totaled 94 honorees, two shy of the sport's all-time record of 96, set last year.
