The MCC Academic All-Conference teams honor student-athletes who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or better (on a 4.00 scale) with at least three complete semesters at the same institution and who participate in an MCC sponsored sport as a starter or an important reserve. Selections are made by MCC Faculty Athletics Representatives. The teams are comprised of the same number of first-team all-MCC student-athletes in each sport.
