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 2023-24 fall semester, which included a record 799 student-athletes, nineteen of which are from St. Catherine University. The previous fall-sport high was 782, set in the 2022-23 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 have completed 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 193 honorees - up six from a season ago. Women's soccer also finished with a new sport record of 169 honorees, surpassing its previous best of 159 set in 2021-22. Men's soccer has a new high of 125 honorees, topping its 2021-22 record mark by six. Volleyball matched its 2022-23 total of 115, four shy of the all-time sport record, while women's cross country also surpassed the century mark with 105 honorees this fall.
