Newport News, VA- The University of Dayton Division of Athletics placed 113 student-athletes on the Atlantic 10 Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the spring of 2011 semester.

“Congratulations to each student-athlete represented on the spring 2011 Commissioner's Honor Roll. Balancing the demands of athletic participation and academic achievement is a difficult task,” stated Atlantic 10 Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade.  “Each of these student-athletes is a great role model for their institution and the Atlantic 10 Conference."

To be listed on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll, a student-athlete in an Atlantic 10-sponsored sport must have a 3.5 GPA or better (on a 4.0 scale) during the specified semester.  Freshmen are eligible to receive the award. 

The Flyers are third among the 14 Atlantic 10 Conference institutions in the number of student-athletes recognized.
