Runnin’ Bulldogs Have Achieved the Honor for Nine Consecutive Seasons

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—For the ninth straight year, the ÃÛ¶¹Ö±²¥ baseball team has earned the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Team Academic Excellence Award. The honor highlights programs coached by ABCA members that posted a GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale for the entire 2023-24 academic year.

The ÃÛ¶¹Ö±²¥ baseball team achieved a 3.47 cumulative GPA for the year. The Runnin’ Bulldogs have earned the ABCA honor in every season under Head Coach Jim Chester.
