Fall Sports Athletes Show Excellence in the Classroom with 423 Named Scholar-Athletes

423 varsity fall sports athletes from Flint Metro League schools were named league Scholar-Athletes at the conclusion of the fall sports season.  To be named a league Scholar-Athlete requires receiving a varsity letter in a league sport, maintaining a cumulative 3.50 grade point average and being at least a sophomore.  The lists of fall 2015 Scholar-Athletes may be found here.

Excellence in the classroom went along with excellence in athletics this past season.  Examples include the boys' cross country first team all-league runners and the girls' first team golfers, where 7 out of 8 on each are scholar-athletes; girls' cross country all-league first team with 5 out of 8 named scholar-athlete with two additional first team runners being freshmen and not qualifying yet for scholar-athlete; girls' swim/dive first team all-league where the only singles event winner who was not named a scholar-athlete was a freshman; and the volleyball first team all-league honorees which had 6 out of 8 named scholar-athletes.

The all-league team listed on each fall sport's web page now notes those who were also named scholar-athletes.

Flint Metro League scholar-athletes receive a certificate from the league recognizing their excellence in the classroom while participating in a varsity level sport.
