The East Central Community College athletic department is excited to announce 73 student-athletes have been honored by the Mississippi Association of Community Colleges Conference (MACCC) for their academic performances in the 2020-21 school year.

"Providing student-athletes an opportunity to become well-rounded individuals is what we strive for at ECCC, and honors such as these show that our students are working hard to obtain that goal," said East Central President Dr. Brent Gregory. "Our outstanding student-athletes all showed tremendous dedication to their work, both on the field and in the classroom, during a year that saw many challenges. We are excited for each of these students and we look forward to continuing to build an atmosphere of success academically and in competition."

To earn the honor, student-athletes must maintain a GPA of 3.25 for a minimum of 24 cumulative hours. Academic All-State is awarded to student-athletes that posted a GPA between 3.25 and 3.79, while the Distinguished honor is awarded to those with 3.8 and higher. 

In addition to individual awards, the ECCC Women's soccer team was named MACCC All-Academic Team of the Year for their sport with a conference-best 3.67 team GPA.
