2025-26 Academic All-PacWest Team

ATHERTON, CA – Exemplifying life in the balance as a collegiate student-athlete, a grand total of 214 Menlo College Oaks were named to the Academic All-PacWest Team, as announced by the Pacific West Conference on Thursday. Based on performances in the classroom over their collegiate careers, 2,700 total student-athletes from the conference's 13 member institutions over the past year earned the distinction and Menlo was the leader in five of the 15 sports represented.

All student-athletes chosen for the Academic All-PacWest honor met a set of specific criteria including a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, must have completed two academic semesters at the institution, and must have participated in regular season competition or redshirted.

"This recognition goes beyond athletic ability - it highlights the discipline, commitment, and character of our student-athletes," said Vice President of Athletics Keith Spataro. "To increase our total number of Academic All-PacWest honorees so significantly in one year speaks volumes about the academic culture we're building here. I couldn't be prouder of what our teams have accomplished."

Award winners were represented by each of Menlo's 11 sports which are sponsored by the PacWest Conference. Among the Oaks teams to lead their respective conference sports were:

• Baseball (44)
• Men's Soccer (35)
• Men's Golf (14)
• Men's Tennis (17)
• Women's Tennis (11)

Menlo's 40-honoree increase from the 174 student-athletes selected to the 2024-25 Academic All-PacWest Team reflect an ongoing mission to support the full student-athlete experience, empowering excellence in the classroom, in competition, and in the community.
