Blakley makes South Atlantic Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll

Posted
Newberry College student Hannah Blakley, a Manning native, was one of 142 students from the school to be named to the South Atlantic Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll for the spring semester. The number is the most named to the list at once in the program's history. To be eligible for inclusion on the SAC Commissioner's Honor Roll, student-athletes must have competed in a sponsored championship sport and maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher throughout the academic year. Including the non-SAC sports (wrestling, field hockey, cheer and dance), 179 student-athletes met the grade requirement. A total of 270 student-athletes had a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or greater. Each team was also successful in terms of its cumulative grade point average. Of the Wolves' 19 varsity sports, 15 have a cumulative grade point average above 3.00, led by the women's basketball squad's 3.493 grade point average. The men's golf team had the highest male team grade point average at 3.422. Women's teams made up 10 of the teams with over a 3.00 grade point average, while there were five men's teams who met the requirement.
