GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Florida placed 72 student-athletes on the 2023 Southeastern Conference Winter Academic Honor Roll, announced Wednesday by league commissioner Greg Sankey.
The 2023 SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2022 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.
Florida's SEC champion men's and women's swimming & diving programs placed 28 and 21, respectively on the list. The men's 28 resets the program record, which was 23 in 2017-18.
Florida was one away from its program record with 12 from the 2023 SEC champion Gator gymnastics team earning SEC Academic Honor Roll accolades.
Seven from women's basketball and four from the men's team earned spots on the Academic Honor Roll. The women's basketball total equals the program record for the fourth time and first time since 2005-06 season.
More Gators Academic Honor Roll notes:
- Two turned in 4.0 grade point averages - gymnast Leah Clapper and swimmer Ekaterina Nikonova.
- Trinity Thomas, the 2023 SEC Gymnast of the Year, makes her fourth appearance on the SEC Academic Honor Roll as she pursues a master's degree in Health Education & Behavior.
To be recognized to the SEC 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 or have participated on a varsity team for two years if non-scholarship; 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.
