ACADEMIC CHAMPIONS

Mesa athletes excel in the classroom every bit as well as in athletic competition. Since the 2005-06 academic year MCC has had 349 student athletes earn NJCAA All-Academic honors by earning a minimum of a 3.60 GPA. In addition, 73 teams have been honored by the NJCAA for having composite 3.00-or-better GPAs. Two teams, women’s golf in 2012-13 and women’s indoor track and field in 2016-17, were named NJCAA Academic Teams of the Year for having the top GPS of all teams in the nation in their respective sports.

First Team (Pinnacle Award) is for a 4.0 GPA - Second Team (Superior) is for 3.80-3.99 - Third Team (Exemplary) is for 3.60-3.79
