Student-Athletes Recognized on MIAA Academic Honor Roll

KANSAS CITY - - Nearly 65 percent of all Truman student-athletes logged a minimum 3.00 cumulative grade-point average to earn Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) Academic Honor Roll status, announced Monday by both the Truman Department of Athletics and the conference office.

Truman State University had 391 total student-athletes competing in 20 sports throughout the 2012-13 academic year, with 252 individuals (64.5%) recording at least a 3.00 cumulative GPA. The MIAA's 15 primary schools and four affiliate men's soccer members placed 2,461 total student-athletes on the honor roll, meaning Truman athletes held nearly 10.2% of the total slots – the highest percentage of any MIAA program.

“We are always incredibly proud of the effort our student-athletes put forth both in the classroom and in their individual sports,” Director of Athletics Jerry Wollmering said. “Each of our student-athletes is an exceptionally hard worker, representing themselves and the University at the highest level.”

Thirteen of Truman's 252 student-athletes were named MIAA Scholar-Athletes, a list designated for those who earned a minimum 3.50 cumulative GPA and were named either all-MIAA in their respective sport, were an all-region/district pick for non-MIAA sports, or qualified for a national meet in an individual sport.

Finally, 13 additional student-athletes were granted the MIAA's Academic Excellence award, which is presented to those who earn or maintain a perfect 4.00 cumulative grade-point average. Seven of Truman's sports were represented with at least one student-athlete holding a 4.00. There were just 107 total student-athletes throughout the league with a perfect mark, meaning Truman comprised more than 12 percent of the list.

The full list of Truman recipients is outlined below.
