ATLANTA - The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) has honored two student-athletes from Liberty County, naming them to the 202223 SIAC Commissioner’s All-Academic Team. Additionally, two more student-athletes from Liberty and Long counties have been recognized on the 2022-23 All-Academic Team.

To earn a spot on the Commissioner’s All-Academic Team, student-athletes must maintain at least a 3.0 or better cumulative grade point average throughout the 2022-23 academic year.

To earn the league’s highest academic honors on the All-Academic Team, student-athletes with a 3.2 or higher were considered for all-academic team honors. The number of student-athletes selected in each sport is determined by the number of positions usually involved in that sport.
