DENVER - Four WAC men's teams - Chicago State, NM State, Seattle U and UT Rio Grande Valley - and 27 WAC male student-athletes have been honored by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) with 2016 Academic Awards.
The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade-point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). All varsity letterwinners were factored into the cumulative team GPA for the 2015-16 academic year.
In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status, a player must be a varsity letterwinner, have a GPA of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year and have been enrolled at their present school for at least two semesters (including freshman through senior year).
