BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – A total of 121 Kentucky Wildcat student-athletes earned a place on the 2022 Southeastern Conference Spring Sports Academic Honor Roll, announced Wednesday by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.

The men’s tennis team placed nine players on the list, which led all SEC schools. Men’s and women’s golf also tied for first among league schools with nine and eight honorees, respectively. Baseball had 20 honorees, while softball had 15, women’s tennis had six, men’s track and field had 26 and women’s track and field had 27. The SEC spring honor roll is based on grades from the 2021 Summer, 2021 Fall and 2022 Spring terms.

Among other criteria, students must have a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above at the nominating institution.
