HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- The Southern Miss athletics department is proud to recognize 143 student-athletes for their academic achievements in Spring 2020.
The semester was an adjustment with classes shifting to online-only in mid-March due to COVID-19 restructuring. As with all previous years, the President's List is reserved for 4.0 GPAs, while the Dean's List is between 3.5 and 3.999 and the Athletic Director's Honor Roll is 3.0 to 3.4999.
Baseball and men's and women's track and field/cross country did the best in the top category with eight apiece, while football followed with seven. With the exception of football, track/XC boasted 21 overall honorees while baseball had 17. Soccer also had 13 and softball produced 12.
The men's and women's tennis teams were also honored this week by the ITA with 10 combined scholar-athlete awards.
