“I am extremely proud of the hard work our student-athletes have displayed in the classroom,” GC&SU Athletics Director Stan Aldridge said. “This is the largest number of student-athletes we have had on the honor roll. I am proud of our coaches for brining in student-athletes who can perform well in the classroom as well as the playing field.”
