CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) -- The Mid-American Conference announced Friday, Jan. 28, its list of Distinguished Scholar Athletes from the three fall sports (football, men's/women's cross country) that competed as part of the 2020-21 academic season. Other traditional fall sports that had seasons delayed due to COVID-19 will be included in the MAC's spring honors. Two Eagles were recognized as the 'best of the best' from each sport's Academic All-MAC teams.
The EMU men's cross country team placed a student-athlete on the list, while football also earned a nod for the Green and White. Both student-athletes were named to the list for the first time.
