Santa Clara's WCC Commissioner's Honor Roll Members

SAN BRUNO, CA - With the conclusion of the 2010-11 academic year, the West Coast Conference is proud to announce the 10th annual WCC Commissioner's Honor Roll, which recognizes those student-athletes that possess at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.  A record number 122 Bronco student-athletes made the list, besting last year's mark of 118.  Santa Clara had 21 on the Gold list, 21 on the Silver list and 80 on the Bronze list.  Santa Clara's student-athletes recorded a school-best 3.14 GPA during the Spring 2011 quarter as well.

All told, 935 WCC student-athletes, who participated in one of the WCC's 13 sponsored sports, were honored from the league's eight member institutions. This marks a new record for the conference, as the previous best total occurred over last year's academic term with 893 student-athletes making the list.  

"Breaking the all-time record for the third consecutive year is an impressive accomplishment," said WCC Commissioner Jamie Zaninovich. "The continuous increase in Commissioner's Honor Roll recipients over the last few years is a testament to our schools' commitment to developing well-rounded student-athletes that strive for excellence in both athletics and academics."

 Only grades earned at WCC institutions may be used in calculating the grade point average for this award. To be considered for this honor, student-athletes must meet the following requirements:  

1) Individuals must have earned a varsity letter in a sport which the conference determined a champion in the recently completed academic year.  

2) The cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 must be based on a 4.0 scale.  

3) The individuals must have successfully completed an average of at least 12 graded credit hours (non pass-fail hours) per term.  

The conference recognizes those on the WCC Commissioner's Honor Roll in three separate categories:  

4.00-3.75 - Gold Honors 

3.74-3.50 - Silver Honors 

3.49-3.00 - Bronze Honors
