By: Alex Kline, Assistant Athletics Director for Communications
POMONA, Calif. – The California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) announced its academic awards for the winter and spring sports on Tuesday morning, with 60 Broncos being recognized. That mark is the fifth-most in the conference, however, it ranks first in the CCAA on a per-sport basis.
The CCAA recognizes individuals academically per season – fall, winter and spring – for all CCAA-sponsored sports. The CCAA Winter and Spring Academic Honor Roll consists of eligible student-athletes who compete in the sports of men's and women's basketball, men's and women's golf, baseball, softball, and men's and women's track & field – five of which are sponsored at Cal Poly Pomona. A total of 636 men and women (109 Winter, 527 Spring) from across the CCAA's 12 member institutions have been honored for their efforts in the classroom for winter and spring of 2024.
To be eligible for the honor, student-athletes must be of sophomore standing athletically at the start of the playing season and may include graduate students, shall have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.3, and shall have competed in the sport in that season.
The Broncos ranked second in the conference with 53 student-athletes named to Fall Academic Honor Roll back in March. In total, 113 Broncos earned the distinction during the 2023-24 academic year, ranking third-most in the conference.
