Newberry College student-athlete, Lukas Gilmore, named to South Atlantic Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll

2015 Jun 30

The South Atlantic Conference has released the 2014-15 Commissioner's Honor Roll, with 126 Newberry College student-athletes named to the list. Lukas Gilmore of Greenville MI is included on this list.

To be eligible for inclusion on the SAC Commissioner's Honor Roll, student-athletes must have competed in a sponsored championship sport and maintained a cumulate GPA of 3.30 or higher throughout the academic year.

When Newberry's non-SAC varsity sports of field hockey, wrestling, cheer and dance are included, 152 student-athletes meet the grade requirements.

"SAC student-athletes are among the most well-rounded individuals on their respective campuses," said South Atlantic Conference Commissioner Patrick Britz. "I'm extremely proud of the efforts made by our student-athletes and support staffs in making 2014-15 another record-breaking year in the classroom. We had over 100 more honorees this year than in 2013-14 so I think it's safe say our vision of preparing our student-athletes academically as well as athletically is a reality."

Queens led the South Atlantic Conference with 138 student-athletes on the honor roll. Carson-Newman and Lenoir-Rhyne followed with 136 honorees each. Tusculum put 129 student-athletes on the honor roll, followed by Newberry with 126. Wingate had 123 honorees, while Mars Hill had 118 student-athletes honored. Coker had 114 honor roll recipients and Catawba notched 110 student-athletes on the honor roll. Anderson had 98, Lincoln Memorial had 95 and Brevard had 83 honorees.
