Eleven 2007-08 swimming and diving newcomers were among the 549 freshmen student-athletes named to the 2008 SEC Freshmen Academic Honor Roll Tuesday by SEC Commissioner Mike Slive.
A total of 2,340 student-athletes around the league earned Academic Honor Roll recognition in 2007-08. The University of Florida and the University of South Carolina shared the top of the list with 66 freshmen student-athletes on each academic
roster. Next in line were the University of Alabama (56) and the University of Kentucky (52).
Tuesday's announcement gives Florida a total of 253 student-athletes that were named to a SEC Academic Honor Roll in 2007-08. Florida placed 187 on the SEC Academic Honor Rolls (93 on the Spring list, 48/Winter, 46/Fall) and 66 on the Freshman Honor Roll. That total is second only to South Carolina's total of 266 honorees.
To be recognized to the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll, each student-athlete must 1) have a GPA of 3.00 for either the preceding academic year or have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution; 2) be on scholarship, a letterwinner; 3) have completed 24 semester hours of non-remedial credit at the nominating institution; and 4) have been a member of the varsity team for the sport's entire NCAA Championship segment.
