MIAC RELEASE

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference recognized 66 Bethel University student-athletes with Academic All-MIAC honors, announced by the league office Wednesday afternoon.

In total, a MIAC record 745 student-athletes were recognized by the conference who competed in winter and spring sports. That total combined with the fall total of 427 registered a combined 2018-19 and MIAC record 1,172 Academic All-Conference honorees.

To be eligible for Academic All-MIAC selection, students must be in at least their second academic year at their institution and carry a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher while participating in 50 percent of the team's overall varsity regular-season contests.  The winter/spring team sports eligible include baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's hockey, softball and men's and women's tennis. In addition, baseball pitchers who made five appearances or completed 20 innings pitched were eligible, as were hockey goalies who played in one-third (33.3 percent) of their team's total minutes played for the regular season.

The winter and spring individual sports each have sport-specific criteria, and they include golf, swimming and diving and both indoor and outdoor track and field. Golfers must compete in the MIAC Championships or complete a minimum of 12 competitive rounds in order to be eligible for the honor. The swimming and diving qualifications require a student-athlete to finish in the top 16 of an individual event or compete in a relay race at the MIAC championships to be eligible. Track and field qualifications require student-athletes to qualify for an individual event or compete on a relay team at the Indoor or Outdoor MIAC Track and Field Championships.
