A total of 455 Ohio State student-athletes, including 250 from spring and at-large sports, earned Academic All-Big Ten honors for the 2019-20 academic year, the conference announced Wednesday.
Ohio State was the only school with more than 200 Academic All-Big Ten honorees from spring and at-large sports, and those 250 honorees join 112 from fall sports – including 38 football players – and 93 from winter sports.
The full-year total of 455 falls just short of Ohio State's total of 461 Academic All-Big Ten honorees in 2018-19, which set a new school record.
Honorees from spring and at-large sports include fencer Alexsandra Kolmykova, who was one of 47 Big Ten athletes from those sports to maintain a 4.0 grade-point average. Ohio State's rowing team led spring and at-large sports with 35 Academic All-Big Ten honorees – which consist of athletes who have maintained a grade-point average of 3.0 or better and have been enrolled for at least one full year – while men's lacrosse had 29, women's lacrosse had 22 and men's and women's track and field each had 18, among others.
Ohio State's full list of spring and at-large Academic All-Big Ten honorees can be viewed on its official athletics website.
