Fall 2010 Honor Roll

NORFOLK, Va. – A total of 102 student-athletes from Norfolk State University have earned a spot on the Athletics Director's Honor Roll for the end of the 2010 academic term. “The high number of student-athletes on the Honor Roll is a great testament to our Athletics Department and the caliber of students in our program,” said Kim Luckes, acting president of Norfolk State University. To earn this distinction, student-athletes must have achieved at least a 3.0 grade point average for the semester. 

“I am extremely happy with the progress that our student-athletes are making in the classroom,” NSU Athletics Director Marty L. Miller said. “The academic success that we experienced last semester and our improved graduation success rate reflect the hard work and commitment of not only the student-athletes, but also, the staff and academic enhancement counselors. The athletics department wants its student-athletes to set the standard of academic excellence for students to emulate at Norfolk State University.”

Football led all teams with 24 members on the Athletics Director's Honor Roll, followed by baseball (20), men's track & field/cross country (10), volleyball and women's track & field/cross country (9 each), women's tennis and softball (7 each), women's basketball (6), bowling (5), men's basketball (3) and men's tennis (2).  

Three student-athletes achieved a perfect 4.00 grade point average: Destiny Spence (women's basketball), Jessica Overton (women's bowling) and Casey Pomeroy (softball).
