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 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.
