Earlier this week, the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) announced their 2021-2022 Academic Teams of the Year. These are the programs that achieved the highest GPA in their respective sport throughout the academic year.
This year, women's tennis and men's soccer were awarded this honor. Women's tennis finished with a 3.79 GPA, while men's soccer finished with a 3.64 GPA. Women's tennis obtained the highest GPA among all Emory Oxford varsity programs, while men's soccer has now been honored as Academic Team of the Year for the third straight time.
Men's tennis, which earned this award last year, finished in 5th place. Women's soccer, another winner last year, finished tied for 6th place. The other Emory Oxford programs to finish in the top 10 were men's golf (7th), men's basketball (T-8th) and women's cross country (9th). Men's cross country finished just outside the top 10 and women's golf did not have enough student-athletes to qualify.
Within the Emory Oxford athletic department, all varsity teams earned a 3.0 GPA or higher marking the 10th straight year that this feat has been accomplished.
