Published 5:00 am Thursday, July 23, 2020

Athletes are most often recognized for things they do on the field, but several Calhoun Comunity College athletes were recently honored for great things they accomplished in the classroom.

The Calhoun baseball, softball and women’s and men’s golf teams were recently recognized by the National Junior College Athletic Association for their 2019-2020 academic efforts.

Calhoun Athletic Director Nancy Keenum said 17 of the athletes were documented by the NJCAA as members of the All-Academic team. 

The softball team led with an average grade point average of 3.31, and the baseball team followed with an average GPA of 3.11.
