The MIAC Elite 22 Award recognizes the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the conference championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers.

Modeled after the NCAA Elite 90 Award, the MIAC Elite 22 Award was founded in 2013 and is presented to the student-athlete with the highest grade point average (GPA) in each sport who meet similarly high, sport-specific athletic requirements. Complete details are available online, and the 2020-21 Elite 22 honorees are listed below. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only eight of the 22 MIAC varsity sports were able to participate in conference championships in 2020-21.
