FOREST, Va. --- ODAC student-athletes had a banner season in their athletic arenas during the 2021-22 campaign, but that was not the only way they thrived. The conference's membership starred with the books at nearly league-record levels, resulting in 2,505 student-athletes earning recognition on the 2021-22 ODAC All-Academic Team.
Guilford had 116 student-athletes honored for the academic year. This is the third straight season the ODAC All-Academic Team topped 2,500 honorees. This year's accomplishment came with two fewer schools in the mix than in 2020-21 -- Emory & Henry (full-time) and Southern Virginia (associate for football) -- making the final tally that much more impressive. A conference-record five schools eclipsed 200 honorees with 11 members featuring 100 or more representatives.
Eligibility for the ODAC All-Academic Team is open to any student-athlete that competes in a conference-sponsored sport, regardless of academic class. Prospective honorees must achieve at least a 3.25 grade point average for the academic year to be considered for ODAC All-Academic Team recognition.
