ROCHESTER, NY -- Liberty League commissioner Tracy King has announced that 627 fall sport student-athletes have qualified for the league's All-Academic Teams in their respective sports, marking the highest total for fall sports since the league began recognizing outstanding academic achievement. RIT had 52 student-athletes honored by the league.

The Liberty League's fall championship sports include men's and women's cross country, field hockey, football, men's and women's soccer and volleyball. To be recognized as a member of the All-Academic team a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in class standing with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30. The previous highest total for the fall was 620 student-athletes during both the 2015 and 2018 seasons.

"Academic success is a great point of pride for our Liberty League institutions and student-athletes," said King. "Our student-athletes continue to demonstrate that it is possible to not only excel academically, but to achieve athletically at the highest levels in Division III. I congratulate and salute them on their outstanding achievements."
