MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee's athletic department inducted 28 student-athletes into the Chi Alpha Sigma National College Athlete Honor Society on March 19 at the Rose and Emmett Kennon Hall of Fame. The 28 student-athletes is a new record for most inductees in a year for the Blue Raiders.
There were 16 female and 12 male student-athletes inducted into the Blue Raider's 15th class. Football had six inductees followed by four from women's tennis, three each from soccer and volleyball, women's track and softball, and two from baseball and men's tennis. There was one student-athlete from men's golf and men's track.
Chi Alpha Sigma is a non-profit organization established to recognize college students who earn a varsity letter in at least one sport while maintaining a 3.4 or higher cumulative GPA throughout their junior and senior years. The goal of the organization is to recognize outstanding academic achievement by intercollegiate athletes.
Middle Tennessee has now inducted a total of 215 student-athletes into the society after just 15 years of eligibility. In 2005, the first year Blue Raider student-athletes could be inducted, a total of 26 were recognized. Middle Tennessee placed 10 student-athletes into the society in 2006, 15 more in 2007, 10 in 2008, nine in 2009, 16 in 2010, 13 in 2011, four in 2012, 12 in 2013, 14 in 2014, seven in 2015, 26 in 2016 and 24 in 2018.
