CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Carroll Athletics earned Presidents' Academic Excellence status from the Cascade Conference for the recently completed 2020-21 school year, the conference office announced Monday.

In order to receive the designation, a department must achieve an overall combined GPA of 3.0 or better among their student-athletes (men/women) that compete in sports that the CCC declares a champion in, and have 60-percent or higher of student-athletes who are eligible to receive Academic All-Conference (sophomore standing/3.2 GPA) recognition do so.

Carroll was able to meet those marks by posting a 3.36 overall GPA and landing 63% of eligible athletes on Academic All-Conference from their programs that compete in the CCC, which are Softball and Men's and Women's Soccer.
