2008-09 Peach Belt All-Academic Teams

Starting with the 2008-09 academic year, the Peach Belt Conference will recognize the outstanding accomplishments of PBC student-athletes in the classroom as well as on the field with the establishment of the All-Academic team.  There will be 12 teams honored during the year, one for each of the PBC's championship sports.

To be eligible for the All-Academic team, a student-athlete must 1) participate in at least half of his/her team’s events and be either a starter or significant contributor; 2) achieved a 3.20 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) and 3) completed at least one full academic year at his or her current institution. The Peach Belt Conference Sports Information Directors oversee and select the teams.
