WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State earned an American-best seven Team Academic Excellence Awards and 195 student-athletes were named to the American All-Academic Team for the 2019-20 season.

The seven teams honored include baseball, men's golf, softball, men's tennis, men's indoor track and field, men's outdoor track and field and volleyball.

The Team Academic Excellence Award selections are made by the conference's faculty athletics representatives. The winning teams were chosen based on the 2019-20 grade-point average of each student-athlete who appeared on an institution's roster at the end of the academic year, weighing each student's GPA by credit-hour completed.

Nominations for the All-Academic Team are submitted by each of the American Athletic Conference's member institutions. To be eligible for the honor, a nominee must have competed in an American Athletic Conference-sponsored sport, attained a minimum grade-point average of 3.00 for the preceding academic year, and completed a minimum of two consecutive semesters or three consecutive quarters of academic work, with a total of 18 semester or 27 quarter credits, not including remedial courses.

The nominations are reviewed and approved by the American Athletic Conference Academic Affairs Committee. The total of 3,299 honorees shatters the previous conference record of 2,836 selections from last season.
