NORTH BOSTON, N.Y. --- The Carlow University Department of Athletics earned the AMCC Institutional Peak Performer Award as academic standouts in its first year of conference membership, the league announced Thursday.
The award is bestowed annually on the AMCC member with the highest percentage of student-athletes named to the Academic All-Conference Team. The Celtics placed 61.73 percent of their student-athletes on the team. Carlow student-athletes also captured nine Team Peak Performer awards (women's soccer, women's tennis, women's volleyball, women's cross country, women's basketball, softball, women's track & field, men's track & field and men's golf), which recognizes the team with the highest collective cumulative GPA in each sport.
Out of Carlow's entire student-athlete population, 126 earned Academic All-Conference honors. Ninety-five earned Peak Performer (3.5 or higher GPA), and 34 were named to Chi Alpha Sigma, the National Collegiate Student-Athlete Honor Society.
Five-time IPP award winner, Mount Aloysius College, placed second (56.05 percent) and Hilbert College was third (52.07 percent).
Across the conference, 1,067 student-athletes achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher as of the Fall 2023 semester, earning the distinction of being named academic all-conference.
Sixty-seven percent (710) of those individuals were tabbed Individual Peak Performers for earning a GPA of 3.5 or higher. A special subset of those student-athletes was also selected for induction to Chi Alpha Sigma, which recognizes both academic performance, leadership and character for selected juniors and seniors.
