This annual program recognizes high performing student athletes across college rugby. To qualify as a Scholastic All-American, student athletes must maintain a 3.5 GPA or higher for the academic year and be rostered for 50% of the Fall 15s A-side matches or rostered for 50% of the A-side Spring 7s tournaments. This selective group of Scholastic All-Americans represents about 1 out of 20 student athletes competing in college rugby.
Over 115 men’s programs recognized Scholastic All-Americans from the past season. Leading the way were Brown University, Babson College and Bowdoin College with twenty or more recipients. Several colleges boasted 10 or more Scholastic All-Americans including Georgetown, Dartmouth, Bucknell, Lander, Northeastern, Coast Guard, Michigan, Notre Dame, Richmond and Yale.
The Lee University women named 14 Scholastic All-Americans, followed by Kenyon College with 10 recipients. Several schools added nine student athletes to this year’s list including Grand Valley State, Salve Regina, Texas A&M, Iowa and Notre Dame. Fifty-two women’s programs were represented in the Scholastic All-American program.
Commenting on this year’s Scholastic All-Americans, CEO Jeremy Treece said “We are excited to celebrate such a large number of high-achieving student athletes this year. Congratulations to this distinguished group of students who have demonstrated a high level of dedication and commitment to scholastic excellence.”
