Heartland Conference names 98 Newman student-athletes to Honor Roll

Jul 14, 2011

Nearly one-third of all Newman University student-athletes have been named to the 2010-11 NCAA Division II Heartland Conference Honor Roll, which was released Monday. In all, 98 Jets earned recognition for their performances in the classroom.

Of the 98 student-athletes honored by the conference, 53 were named to the Heartland Conference Presidents’ Honor Roll for achieving GPAs of 3.5 or higher, while the remaining 45 were named to the Heartland Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll for final GPAs between 3.0 and 3.49.

The Newman baseball team took top honors on the men’s side with 14 honorees, while the women’s soccer squad placed a combined 12 student-athletes on the honor roll.

Newman had more student-athletes on this year’s Heartland Conference Honor Roll than any other institution in the Heartland Conference. St. Mary’s came in second with 80 student-athletes honored.

The honor roll was announced on the heels of the release of the 2010-11 Heartland Conference Academic Awards, in which Newman claimed the highest GPA in all three categories (men’s sports, women’s sports, overall GPA).
