CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Big South conference announced last Thursday morning the Presidential Honor Roll list which included an incredible 85.50% of Radford's 269 eligible student-athletes, a conference-high.

To be named to the Presidential Honor Roll, student-athletes must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or better for the recently-completed academic year. This past season, 2,152 out of the Big South's 2,909 eligible student-athletes achieved the benchmark.

For the second time in the last three years, it was Radford who led all Big South institutions with their 85.50% mark of student-athletes who earned the award. The Highlanders were one of just three members that eclipsed 80% joined by Gardner-Webb and High Point. Within the list, 35 Radford student-athletes also earned the Commissioner's Award distinction for a perfect 4.0 GPA led by the women's soccer program which had nine student-athletes earn a 4.0 GPA.

The Big South had an all-time high 273 student-athletes receive Commissioner's Award distinction in 2023-24 for having a 4.0 GPA. Gold Award scholars (3.75-3.99) totaled 604 while another 522 received Silver Award (3.50-3.74) accolades in 2023-24 for a combined total of 1,399 student-athletes with at least a 3.50 GPA last year -- 65.01 percent of all Presidential Honor Roll members at or above that threshold.
