Lincoln Land Community College student athletes are finding success on the field and court, while making major strides in the classroom. During the fall 2024 semester, 23 student athletes earned a 4.0 grade point average, 32 student athletes earned a 3.5 or higher and 23 student athletes earned a 3.0 or higher.

We are so proud of our student athletes and their hard work. This is a great example of the culture of academic success that our coaches, faculty and academic support staff promote at LLCC. This new semester cumulative GPA raises the bar for academic success.”

“I congratulate our Logger athletes on their stellar academic achievements,” said Shanda Byer, LLCC vice president of student services. “It takes dedication and focus to be a college athlete and to also excel academically. The hard work of the athletes, along with that of the faculty and staff that support them, raised the bar this term. I am proud of what they’ve accomplished and look forward to seeing the continued commitment to academics for our Loggers.”
