COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Athletics had another banner semester in the classroom and the Southeastern Conference rewarded Mizzou for its efforts as 45 Tiger student-athletes landed on the Winter SEC Academic Honor Roll, as announced by Commissioner Greg Sankey on Friday (April 22). In all, Mizzou's men's and women's swimming and diving programs accounted for 32 of the honorees, while women's basketball had seven, gymnastics five and men's basketball one to round out the winter sports. 

A total of 667 student-athletes were named to the 2016 Winter SEC Academic Honor Roll across all 14 institutions, based on grades from the 2015 Spring, Summer and Fall terms. 

Any student-athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport or a student-athlete who participates in a sport listed on his/her institution's NCAA Sports Sponsorship Form is eligible for nomination to the Academic Honor Roll. The following criteria will be followed: (1) A student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution.
