NJCAA Announces 2022-23 All-Academic Honors

The National Junior College Athletic Association announced the 2022-23 NJCAA Academic Teams of the Year and the NJCAA All-Academic Teams. Pratt Community College (PCC) had seven athletic teams recognized with 50 student-athletes being honored as well.  

The teams who were recognized include Baseball (3.28), Women’s Basketball (3.02), Women’s Soccer (3.29), Men’s Tennis (3.75), Women’s Tennis (3.37), Volleyball (3.19), and for the 11 consecutive year the Wrestling team was named NJCAA Academic Wrestling Team of the Year with a 3.36 GPA. Both the cheerleading and Esports teams had above a 3.0 GPA for the academic year but were not officially recognized as both are emerging sports.  

In addition, to honoring teams every summer the NJCAA honors student athletes in three different All-Academic Teams. Student-athletes are eligible to earn academic honors by achieving an overall GPA of 3.60 or higher for the 2022-23 academic year.
