ROCK HILL, S.C. - Carson-Newman reset its record for most athletes placed on the SAC Commissioner's Honor Roll with 145, the league office announced Monday. 

For the sixth straight year, Carson-Newman placed at least 120 athletes on the South Atlantic Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll.  The 145 honored bests the 2018 class where 137 Eagles were recognized.

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 cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher throughout the academic year. If Carson-Newman's swim programs competed in the SAC, Carson-Newman's total would rise to 180.

Carson-Newman's 145 selections are part of an overall record-setting year for the league of 2,175 student-athletes, spanning each of the South Atlantic Conference's 12 member institutions and 20 sports.  

The Eagles had 11 members of the honor roll who carried perfect 4.0 GPAs.
