KANSAS CITY, Mo. (May 18, 2020) - The MIAA released this afternoon the 2020 academic awards for the outdoor track and field season. After releasing the men's award winners earlier in the day, the association now has announced the women's members of the MIAA Academic Honor Roll and Academic Excellence Award however due to the COVID-19 global pandemic and the cancellation of spring sports, the MIAA did not issue an All-Conference team during the outdoor track and field season, which also took away the Scholar-Athlete award.
In total, more than 215 students across the MIAA were recognized for their academic achievements. Central Missouri had 30 Jennies named to the MIAA Academic Honor Roll, more than any other team in the MIAA. Five of the 30 also earned the MIAA Academic Excellence award, the conference's highest academic achievement, with a cumulative GPA of 4.0.
MIAA Academic Honor Roll members must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0. They must also have at least two terms of attendance at their current institution to be recognized.
