DAVIS, Calif. — 63 UC Davis Athletics student-athletes were named to the Big West Conference Winter All-Academic Team on Tuesday, Apr. 14.

The Spring Academic All-Conference Team highlights student-athletes who compete in Big West-sponsored spring sports, including Women's Water Polo, Men's Golf, Women's Golf, Women's Tennis, Men's Tennis, Beach Volleyball, Men's Volleyball, Women's Outdoor Track and Field, Men's Outdoor Track and Field, Softball, and Baseball.

To qualify for this honor, student-athletes must meet three key requirements. First, they must maintain a minimum 3.00 cumulative institutional grade point average, with no rounding permitted. Second, they must have completed at least one full academic year at their member institution prior to the season in which the award is received, meaning they must be at least a sophomore academically. Third, they must have competed in 50 percent of their team's contests during the season. Exceptions to this participation requirement include baseball and softball pitchers, as well as cross country and track & field athletes, who can qualify by either competing in 50 percent of their team's events or by participating in the Conference Championship.

The Big West proudly recognizes these student-athletes for their commitment to achieving excellence in both competition and the classroom.
