SHAWNEE – Oklahoma Baptist placed 43 student-athletes on the Great American Conference Academic All-Conference team in the sports of men's and women's basketball, men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's track & field, baseball, and softball.
 
The Bison were honored with the third-most selections for any team in the conference this season. In their first year in the GAC, the women's track & field team featured a conference-high 17 selections.

Men's track and field and women's basketball each had five selections on the All-Conference list. Women's tennis, women's golf, and men's golf each had three members on the team, while softball, baseball, and men's tennis each had two players honored. Men's basketball finished the year with one player on the team.

"The student-athletes of the Great American Conference continue to impress me with their achievements in the classroom and on the field of competition," GAC Commissioner Will Prewitt said.  "This record total of All-Academic selections serves as a testament to our student-athletes, faculty, administrators and support staff."
 
For student-athletes to be recognized on the Academic All-Conference team, they must have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing (true freshmen and redshirt freshmen are not eligible) and must have completed at least one full academic year at the nominating institution. In addition, their grade-point average must be a minimum of 3.30 based on the 4.0 system. The GPA shall be cumulative for the athlete's entire collegiate career.
