Gamecocks Post 66 to SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll

COLUMBIA, S.C. – The 2018-19 Winter SEC Academic Honor Roll was announced on Wednesday by commissioner Greg Sankey. South Carolina had 66 student-athletes across five sports make the list, marking the sixth year in a row that the Gamecocks had 65 or more student-athletes honored by the conference.
 
The honor roll includes the sports of basketball, equestrian, gymnastics and swimming & diving. It is based on grades from the 2018 spring, summer and fall terms.
 
The Gamecock Athletics Department concluded the fall 2018 semester with a combined GPA of 3.335, its highest in history and the 24th-consecutive semester above 3.0. Among sports listed on the winter honor roll, women’s swimming and diving led the group with a 3.554 GPA and the men’s swimming and diving team recorded its highest team GPA to date (3.430).

The following criteria will be followed: (1) A student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution. (2) If a student-athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the Academic Honor Roll. (3) Student-athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner), and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. (4) Prior to being nominated, a student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution.
