As announced by the office of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), 42 Cal Poly Humboldt Student-Athletes were named to the 2021 CCAA Fall Academic Honor Roll.  The 42 ‘Jacks were the most by any of the 12-members of the CCAA.  Following Humboldt’s lead were Cal State Monterey Bay with 41 honorees and Cal State San Marcos with 39.

 “We are so proud of the academic accomplishments of our amazing student-athletes,” said Cal Poly Humboldt Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports Cooper Jones.  “Leading the CCAA in Academic All-Conference selections is impressive, and a testament to the caliber of student-athletes who are a part of the Cal Poly Humboldt family.”

 The CCAA recognizes individuals academically per-season (fall, winter and spring) for all CCAA sponsored sports.  Student-athletes must be of sophomore athletic standing or higher, and own a 3.3 cumulative grade point average or better while competing in a conference-sponsored sport in that season.
