Lipscomb claims fourth consecutive ASUN Academic Championship
Lipscomb Athletics |
The numbers are in and for the fourth consecutive year the Lipscomb Bisons have claimed the Atlantic Sun Conference Academic Champion Trophy presented to the school in the league with the highest percentage of student-athletes that have claimed a 3.0 grade-point average or higher.
"After four years in a row, it still doesn’t get old winning this award," said Lipscomb Director of Athletics Philip Hutcheson. "Every year we promote that we have students and athletes and awards like this helps validate that."
Lipscomb led the way with 82.27 percent of student athletes eclipsing the mark as the Bisons claimed the league’s top academic honor for the fifth time in school history. North Florida was the closest school in the race to Lipscomb as the Ospreys finished with a distant 67.78 percent.
"Just like in past years, the credit goes to our student athletes that are doing the work in classroom along with the field of competition,” said Hutcheson. “Congratulations to each of them for putting in the long hours to earn this achievement again. Our coaches deserve a big share as well as they promote the culture of strong academics all the way from recruiting through graduation.
"I'd also be remiss if I didn't recognize the work that Dr. Lin Garner and Sherrie Eubanks do in our office along with Brian Mast with the Lipscomb Academic Success Center, Dr. Kent Johnson as our faculty athletics representative and the rest of the academic team on campus."
