Montana placed 109 student-athletes on the Academic All-Big Sky Conference list for teams that traditionally compete in the fall, the league office announced on Monday.

Fifty-three Montana football players were honored, as were 26 from soccer, 12 from men's cross country, 10 from volleyball and eight from women's cross country.

The Big Sky academic teams typically require both a 3.2 cumulative GPA and a minimum participation criterion. The latter was suspended for the 2020-21 academic year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To be eligible, student-athletes needed to have been on an active roster in 2020-21, along with holding a minimum of a 3.2 cumulative GPA through the spring semester.

The Griz football team's total of 53 was one off the league high. The men's cross country team's 12 ranked third in that sport.
