FARMINGTON, Utah – The Big Sky Conference released its All-Academic Teams for the fall, winter and spring seasons this week, and 195 Southern Utah University student-athletes were honored for their hard work in the classroom.
"With all the uncertainty, SUU student-athletes continue to excel at the highest levels in the classroom and in their respective sports," said Assistant AD for Academics, Katie Evans. "The athletes faced unique challenges this year, including all sports competing in the spring, learning how to compete safely in a global pandemic, adjusting to the new remote synchronous teaching modalities, and juggling challenging practice and competition schedules. Throughout it all, they showed perseverance, dedication, and, more importantly, grit. They are creating a tradition of success within SUU Athletics."
The Thunderbirds saw 90 fall sport student-athletes honored for their academic achievement along with 75 from the winter. Spring sports had a total of 87 honorees, though 57 of them were from outdoor track & field, which was also honored for the indoor season in the winter. Each team and student-athlete can be viewed below.
