CSUSM Places 73 on CCAA Winter/Spring Academic Honor Rolls
SAN MARCOS, Calif. – Cal State San Marcos Athletics tied for the conference lead with 73 student-athletes on the 2024 CCAA Winter/Spring Academic Honor Rolls on Tuesday.
The CCAA recognizes individuals academically per season – fall, winter and spring – for all CCAA sponsored sports. In order to earn CCAA Academic Honor Roll distinction, a student-athlete must be of sophomore athletic standing or higher, and own a 3.3 cumulative GPA or better while competing in a Conference-sponsored sport in that season. The CCAA Winter Academic Honor Roll consists of eligible student-athletes who compete in the sports of men's and women's basketball. The CCAA Spring Academic Honor Roll consists of eligible student-athletes who compete in the sports of men's and women's golf, baseball, softball and men's and women's track & field.
Of the 73 Cougars to earn the honor, CSUSM had 28 repeat winners. Baseball's Niko Diaz claimed the honor for the fifth time in his career due to the extra year gained because of the pandemic while Trevor Boaz (MT&F), Klarissa Munoz (SB) and Morgann Wilson (WT&F) collected the honor for the fourth time. Lauren Hickam (WG) was the only Cougar to earn the honor for a third time.
CSUSM tied with Chico State for the most student-athletes on the CCAA Winter/Spring Honor Rolls while Cal State East Bay was third with 66.
In total, there were 637 student-athletes from winter and spring sports across the CCAA's 12 member institutions honored for their efforts in the classroom.
