Millikin student-athletes receive academic honors
Millikin University, in conjunction with the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW), announced its Jack Swartz Award Recipients and the CCIW Academic All-Conference team for the Spring season of 2017.
Millikin track and field athletes senior Emma Hoyer (Champaign, University H.S.) and senior Timothee McElroy (Mt. Zion, H.S.) were selected as the Jack Swartz winners for the Spring season.
To be considered as a Swartz Award winner, student-athletes must carry at least a 3.50 grade point average, earned a letter in their varsity sport and made a leadership contribution to their program. Both student-athletes recently completed their outstanding athletic careers serving as track co-captains for the 2017 season while maintaining a nearly perfect grade point average.
Each season the CCIW selects an Academic All-Conference Team. To be recognized, the student-athlete must be enrolled as a full-time student; must have earned a letter during the 2017 Spring season; and must have at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average at the start of their season.
