A record 74 student-athletes at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> received Division 2 Athletics Directors Association (D2 ADA<\/abbr>) Academic Achievement Awards for the 2021–22 academic year.<\/p>\n

The award recognizes Division II<\/abbr> student-athletes who have achieved a cumulative GPA<\/abbr> of 3.5 or higher (on a 4.0 scale), completed at least two years of college-level work and have been an active member of an intercollegiate team during the last academic year.<\/p>\n

This year’s record-number of Vulcan recipients surpassed last year’s then-record-setting number of 62.<\/p>\n

“Our student-athletes continue to make us proud with their success in the classroom,” said 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo Director of Athletics Pat Guillen<\/strong>. “The demands that they face in regards to travel while representing 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo, the state of Hawaiʻi<\/span> and our Big Island community is greater than any program in the country. Despite these demands they continue to excel in their academics and on the field. Well done!”<\/p>\n

There were a record-breaking 16,639 student-athletes from 169 institutions recognized for the 2021–22 Academic Achievement Award—the most student-athletes recognized since the inception of the award’s program in 2007–08.<\/p>\n

“Congratulations to all of the student-athlete recipients of the distinguished D2 ADA<\/abbr> Academic Achievement Award,” said Kim Pate, vice president for athletics at Lenoir-Rhyne University and current D2 ADA<\/abbr> president. “It’s been so impressive to see the number of student-athletes recognized for their stellar performance in the classroom grow to record numbers year to year since the inception of this award.”<\/p>\n

The Vulcans ranked 6 out of 10 schools in the PacWest Conference. As a whole, the PacWest finished sixth among the other Division II<\/abbr> conferences.<\/p>\n
