Conference Carolinas Announces Baseball Academic All-Conference Team

High Point, N.C. – Conference Carolinas announces the 2016 Academic All-Conference Team for Baseball. The conference and its member institutions stress the importance of "Academics and Athletics Working Together" and the student-athletes named to Academic All-Conference teams are those who best represent this value.

The 64 young men listed below are all juniors and seniors who have maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale. The GPA is calculated based on the student-athlete’s cumulative average through the previous semester. Each of Conference Carolinas’ twenty sponsored sports has its own Academic All-Conference team, recognized as the regular season comes to a close. In addition to the GPA and class-standing requirements, student-athletes must have attended their member institution for at least one full academic year.

The Conference Carolinas 2016 Baseball Tournament will take place April 28- May 1 and will be hosted by Burlington Recreations & Parks, in conjunction with Barton College and Patterson Communications.  The six-team, double-elimination tournament will be held at Burlington Athletic Stadium, home of the Burlington Royals.
