Thirty-nine 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 2023-24 overall GPAs.
The NJCAA 2023-24 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 2023-24 school year and two full-time semesters overall.
“It is always a pleasure to see so many of our student-athletes succeed in the classroom at a high level and to be recognized for their efforts,” said Arnie Chavera, BHC athletic director.
Congratulations to these student-athletes!
