SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll
A total of 66 University of Kentucky student-athletes earned a place on the 2020 Winter Sports Southeastern Conference (SEC) Academic Honor Roll, announced recently by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. UK had the fourth-highest number of honorees in the league.
The 2020 Winter SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2019 spring, summer and fall terms. UK’s gymnastics team had 12 student-athletes on the honor roll and women’s basketball had eight, both of which are second-most in the league in those sports. Women’s swimming has 24 honorees, third-highest among league schools in that sport. In addition, men’s swimming has 15 on the honor roll, rifle has six and men’s basketball has one. Among other qualifications, a student-athlete must have a 3.0 grade-point average for the preceding academic year or a cumulative 3.0 GPA, and completed at least two semesters of academic work, in order to be named to the list.

Men’s basketball had a 25-6 record while winning the SEC regular-season championship. Women’s basketball went 22-8 and was third in the SEC in the regular season. Still in the regular season, gymnastics was 7-5 overall and fourth place in the SEC. Women’s swimming ranked No. 15 in the nation and the men’s team was receiving votes in the rankings.
