By Robert McKinney, Assistant Athletics Director, Communications

SALEM, Ore. -- A total of 138 student-athletes from Willamette University have qualified as Northwest Conference Scholar-Athletes for the 2022-23 academic year. Seventeen of the Bearcats participated in two sports for 155 total awards. Overall, 1,705 student-athletes from the nine NWC colleges and universities were named Scholar-Athletes.

In order to earn NWC Scholar-Athlete recognition, a student-athlete needed at least a 3.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale. In addition, each athlete had to participate in a full season on a varsity team this past year.

Willamette placed 79 athletes from women's teams on the NWC Scholar-Athlete list, including nine two-sport athletes for 88 total awards. The Bearcat men's teams qualified 59 athletes for NWC Scholar-Athlete status, including eight two-sport athletes for 67 total awards.
