BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) announced the names of student-athletes who earned Academic All-Conference honors for the 2020-21 academic year Tuesday afternoon. An incredible 155 Bethel student-athletes were honored for their achievements in the classroom.
 
In order to qualify for Academic All-MIAC status, student-athletes must be sophomores, juniors, or seniors by academic standards with a minimum cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the fall and winter seasons, the typical athletic requirements for those student-athletes to qualify for Academic All-Conference was waived this year.

For the spring sports of baseball, softball, and tennis, student-athletes must have competed in 50 percent of their team's regular-season varsity contests. In addition, baseball pitchers who made five appearances or completed 20 innings-pitched were eligible for the honor. Golfers must have competed in the 2020-21 MIAC Championships or completed a minimum of 12 competitive rounds in order to be eligible for the honor, while track and field qualifications required student-athletes to qualify for an individual event or compete on a relay team at the 2021 Outdoor MIAC Track and Field Championships.
