"It's always an exciting moment when our student-athletes are recognized for their academic accomplishments. It takes a certain level of commitment to be a successful student-athlete, but it requires a bit more dedication and effort to receive high marks in their academic areas of study," said Cambri Steadman, CGTC director of athletics.
"While this award specifically recognizes our student-athletes, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the efforts and unwavering support of our athletics staff and the CGTC administration, faculty, and staff members that help our student-athletes excel in the classroom and in their respective playing fields."
