BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – The Ohio Valley Conference recognized its 2024-25 Commissioner's Honor Roll winners today and 162 University of Tennessee at Martin student-athletes racked up 180 accolades.
The 180 Skyhawks are the third-most in school history, trailing only the 191 winners in 2019-20 and 181 recipients from 2020-21. Since UT Martin joined the league in 1992, the athletic department has accounted for 3,107 OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll mentions.
On an individual basis, Elizabeth Becker (equestrian), Kate Davis (equestrian), Aubrey Malone (equestrian), Rita Eimer (women's track and field), Shae Littleford (women's basketball) and Jonathan Xoinis (golf) each came away with their fourth career OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll award today.
The Skyhawk equestrian team placed a department-high 25 student-athletes on the 2024-25 OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll list while baseball (18) and softball (16) rounded out the top-three.
To be listed on the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll, recipients must have achieved at least a 3.25 Grade Point Average, have been eligible and on the team throughout the competitive season in their chosen NCAA-sponsored sport(s) and used a season of competition. Across the league, 1,792 student-athletes earned an OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll title last season – shattering the previous record of 1,718 from 2020-21. It was previously announced on Friday that 349 student-athletes captured OVC Academic Medals of Honor for a perfect 4.0 GPA – including 35 Skyhawks (a school record).
