NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - The Atlantic 10 Conference announced Wednesday that 1,559 student-athletes excelled in the classroom in the spring semester, earning Commissioner's Honor Roll distinction while setting a number of league records.
The 1,559 is the highest number of student-athletes that have qualified for the award in a 14-member Atlantic 10 since 2007, surpassing the 1,470 set during the 2014 fall semester. In addition, the 14 member institutions had an average 111 student-athletes qualify for the Commissioner's Honor Roll, shattering last semester's record average of 105 honorees per institution. Both marks are the best single semester numbers of Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade's tenure.
