NEWBERRY – Newberry set a new school record by placing 153 student-athletes on the South Atlantic Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll following the spring semester.

In order to be eligible for inclusion to the Commissioner's Honor Roll, a student must compete in a SAC-sponsored sport and maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or higher. Forty-two additional student-athletes in sports not sponsored by the SAC (Cheer, Field Hockey, Scarlet Poms, and Wrestling) also met the requirements, giving Newberry 195 student-athletes overall with at least a 3.30 GPA.
