Lake Michigan College is honoring the student athletes who have been stars in the classroom as well as on the field.

Also, LMC Baseball, Softball, and Women’s Volleyball have all been named association Academic Teams for 2024-2025. To get that status, status, an association-sponsored sport must record a 3.0 or above cumulative team GPA throughout the current academic year.
