Thirty-six student-athletes representing all eight Black Hawk College sports teams recently earned All-Academic Team honors from the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) for their 2024-25 overall GPAs.
The NJCAA 2024-25 All-Academic Teams salute student-athletes across the country for their dedication in the classroom. To qualify, student-athletes must have completed at least 24 credit hours during the 2024-25 school year and two full-time semesters overall.
“To be recognized nationally by the NJCAA for their academic performance is a significant accomplishment,” said Arnie Chavera, BHC athletic director.
“I hope that they are as proud of themselves as we are of them,” he said.
Congratulations to these student-athletes!
