ROCK HILL, S.C. - Carson-Newman reset its record for most athletes placed on the SAC Commissioner's Honor Roll with 237, the league office announced Friday.

This marks a fifth-consecutive record-setting year for the department after placing 145 on the list in 2020, 176 in 2021, 197 in 2022 and 223 in 2022.

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.  This includes all of Carson-Newman's intercollegiate sports with the exception of beach volleyball (which becomes a SAC sport next season).  Carson-Newman's total would jump to 247 if beach were included.  

The Eagles 237 were a part of 3,560 student-athletes, spanning each of the conference's 13 member institutions, who were named to the 2023-24 SAC Commissioner's Honor Roll. This marks a fifth consecutive year the league has had more than 2,000 student-athletes represented on its honor roll.
