The NJCAA All-Academic Award honors student-athletes who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance while participating in intercollegiate athletics. Midland College celebrates the dedication and success of its golf team and the diverse group of individual athletes who have achieved this prestigious distinction.
“We are exceedingly proud of our student athletes for distinguishing themselves in the classroom,” Midland College Athletic Director Forrest Allen said in a news release. “The balancing of academic and athletic pursuits are often not given full credit by many who don’t understand the considerable sacrifices it takes to excel in both arenas. These students are an outstanding example of high achievement on and off the various venues of competitive performance.”
