D3 WEEK DAY 4: CARLOW EARNS INSTITUTIONAL PEAK PERFORMER AWARD

Carlow University has earned the AMCC Institutional Peak Performer Award as academic standouts in their first year of conference membership.

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% 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 and field, men's track and field, men's golf), which recognizes the team with the highest collective cumulative GPA in each sport.

Five-time IPP award winner, Mount Aloysius College, placed second (56.05%) and Hilbert College was third (52.07%).

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 were also selected for induction to Chi Alpha Sigma, the National Collegiate Student-Athlete Honor Society, which recognizes both academic performance, leadership and character for selected juniors and seniors.
