2024-25 D2 ADA Academic Achievement Awards
CLEVELAND – Adding yet another inaugural distinction to the department's historic 2024-25 campaign, 108 Menlo College Oaks were selected for NCAA Division 2 Athletics Directors Association Academic Achievement Awards after excelling
in the classroom as well as in their respective sports.
The D2 ADA Academic Achievement Award winners were selected based upon a strict set of criteria. In addition to being part of a NCAA Division II institution, the student-athletes chosen must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, have attended a minimum of two years (four semesters) of college level work, and have been an active member of an intercollegiate team during their last academic year.
"We are extremely proud of the scholastic success of these 108 student-athletes," said Vice President of Athletics Keith Spataro. "To have over 100 honorees in this first time having our programs eligible for this award is a testament to the academic culture we've been building at Menlo and the high standards to which we are committed."
From the 202 institutions to submit nominees, a record total of 22,740 student-athletes were recognized for their efforts this past year. The 108 winners of the awards came from 14 different Menlo sports programs with at least four Oaks included in each sport's selections.
"Since its inception, this program has been dedicated to celebrating the exceptional student-athletes who define excellence across our Division II landscape," said Vice President for Athletics at Daemen University and current D2 ADA President Traci Murphy. "This year, we are thrilled to recognize a record number of deserving individuals, reflecting the unprecedented dedication within our division - not only in athletics, but in the classroom as well. This year's record-breaking submissions for both individuals and schools serve as a testament to the Division II way. Thanks to the administrators that nominated these outstanding students, and much-deserved congratulations to our 22,000-plus recipients."
