BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Ten Ole Miss student-athletes were among the 392 total named to the 2009-10 Winter SEC Academic Honor Roll, announced Tuesday by SEC Commissioner Mike Slive.
The Rebel women's basketball team placed five on the honor roll, while rifle had three and men's basketball had two.
Seven of the student-athletes are repeat honorees, while both Elizabeth Robertson (women's basketball) and Bianca Thomas (women's basketball) have been named to an SEC academic honor roll four straight years.
The 2009-10 Winter SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2009 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.
Any student-athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport or a student-athlete who participates in a sport listed on his/her institution's NCAA Sports Sponsorship Form is eligible for nomination to the Academic Honor Roll. The following criteria should 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. (5) The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport's entire NCAA Championship segment.
