FOREST, Va. – Eastern Mennonite University saw 114 of its student athletes represented as the Old Dominion Athletic Conference announced its 2021-22 ODAC All-Academic Team.
The 114 Royals were the second most in program history, trailing only the 118 named in 2019-20. EMU has now had at least 100 honorees six out of the past seven seasons. EMU was represented on the team by 15 of its ODAC-sponsored sports. Men’s volleyball competes in the Continental Volleyball Conference which fields its own academic team, while women’s triathlon also has an independent academic team.
Eligibility for the ODAC All-Academic Team is open to any student-athlete that competes in a conference-sponsored sport, regardless of academic class. He or she must achieve at least a 3.25 grade point average for the year to be considered for an ODAC All-Academic Award.
A total of 2,505 student-athletes earned a spot on the ODAC All-Academic Team, the third straight year of more than 2,500 individuals. This year’s number came with two less schools in the mix as Emory & Henry moved to Division II and Southern Virginia (associate for football) moved full-time to the Big South.
A conference-record five schools eclipsed 200 honorees with 11 members featuring 100 or more representatives. Washington and Lee University remains perched at the top with 451 student-athletes earning recognition, nine more than last season.
