113 FMU student-athletes named to PBC Presidential Honor Roll
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The Peach Belt Conference announced that 1,517 student-athletes have been named to the 28th-annual Presidential Honor Roll.
The list includes a record 113 student-athletes from Francis Marion University. Each of FMU’s 14 sponsored-sports were recognized on the list.
The Presidential Honor Roll recognizes all student-athletes at PBC institutions who had a grade point average of 3.00 or higher, based on a 4.00 scale, for the 2018-19 academic year.
The honor roll is divided into four groups: Presidential Scholars (GPA of 3.00 to 3.24), Bronze Scholars (3.25 to 3.49), Silver Scholars (3.50 to 3.74), and Gold Scholars (3.75 to 4.00).
The total gives the Peach Belt 1,000 or more honorees for the 10th year in a row. Each student-athlete will receive a certificate from the conference office.
Among the FMU athletes named to the honor roll were seven athletes who earned the honor for the fourth time: women’s basketball player Brooke Dixon (Camden), men’s soccer player Oliver Drakenhammar (Partille, Sweden), women’s soccer player Janine Gordon (Miami), golfer Lars Sandvoll (Bergen, Norway), softball player Chelsea Welty (St. Helena), and volleyball players Georgia Garrison (Trinity, N.C.) and Carrie McGinnis (Knoxville).
Earlier this year, 120 student-athletes at Francis Marion were named to the university’s Swamp Fox Athletic-Academic Honor Roll for the 2018 fall semester and 119 for the 2019 spring semester.
