The GLVC Council of Presidents’ Academic Excellence Award recipients exemplify the outstanding student-athletes in the conference. Each honoree has exhausted their eligibility in the intercollegiate sport in which they participated and maintained at least a 3.5 grade point average throughout their academic career.
In addition, to be eligible for the award, the student-athlete must have competed in the GLVC for a minimum of two years and completed 96 credit hours. A student-athlete can only earn the distinguished honor one time in their career.
Drury softball player Megan Tersteeg was one of 18 student-athletes in the GLVC that graduated with a perfect grade point average of 4.0. Tersteeg, an outfielder from Defiance, Missouri, majored in Biochemistry and graduated in May.
