The Lone Star Conference recognized four athletic performance students on Monday (July 10) as the league announced the Athletic Performance Student Academic Award winners in 2022-23.
The LSC recognizes athletic performance students who devote numerous hours to assist with the operation of the athletics department while also finding the time to excel in the classroom. To be eligible for LSC academic honors, athletic performance students must carry at least a 3.30 grade point average with a minimum of 24 semester hours at the nominating institution. The qualifications mirror those required of student-athletes to gain LSC All-Academic recognition.
Texas A&M International led the way with two honorees, while St. Mary’s and UT Tyler had one each.
