Forty-six Franklin College student-athletes have earned spots on the Tom Bohlsen Academic All-HCAC list for the fall season.
To be eligible, academic all-conference selections must be a varsity athlete and have at least a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or better through the end of last semester. The student-athlete must have completed the equivalent of a full academic year and must be a full-time enrolled student at the institution.
Only three other conference schools placed more student-athletes on the team than the Grizzlies: Rose-Hulman (81), Hanover (59) and Anderson (50). A total of 423 conference athletes across the league's six fall sports were chosen.
