GPAC Totals Over 400 NAIA Scholar-Athletes in 2006-2007
The Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) is proud to announce that 404 student-athletes have earned NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors for 2006-2007.
NAIA Scholar-Athletes must be juniors or seniors, total a 3.50 or higher Grade Point Average, and be a member of a varsity team. This is the first year that the NAIA has removed certain statistical requirements from the criteria for the award. Concordia University led the conference with 54 scholar-athletes, while Hastings and Northwestern tied for second with 42 honorees a piece. The Doane women’s track and field team totaled 11 scholar-athletes, while the Mount Marty baseball team had 10 players named this year. The GPAC has over 4,500 student athletes in 19 sanctioned conference sports. Scholar- Athletes in swimming and diving (Morningside) were also added to the scholar-athlete totals for the league. Nebraska Wesleyan competes in five NAIA sports - football, women’s golf, women’s and men’s tennis, and baseball.
