COLUMBIA – Earning a 3.0 or higher grade point average over the last two semesters, 31 South Carolina student-athletes earned spots on the 2007-08 SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll, Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive announced today. Overall, 367 student-athletes from the league’s 12 institutions were named to the Academic Honor Roll, which takes into account grades from the 2007 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.
Kentucky topped the SEC list with 53 student-athletes, while Florida was a close second with 48. Both schools participate in at least one more sport during the season than the Gamecocks.
For the Gamecocks, the women’s swimming and diving team led the way with 17 selections, and their male counterparts were close behind with nine.
