CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Division 2 Athletics Directors Association announced the 2022-23 recipients of the D2 ADA Academic Achievement Awards Thursday morning with 65 Hawai'i Hilo student-athletes receiving honors for finishing the school year with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher.

In its 16th year, the Academic Achievement Awards recognized a record-breaking 19,646 total student-athletes from 196 institutions across the NCAA's Division II.

"This program continues to showcase the amazing student-athletes, and the impactful support of their coaches and staff, across our Division 2 landscape. I want to congratulate all the recipients for earning the D2 ADA Academic Achievement Award," said Kirby Garry, director of athletics at Cal State Monterey Bay and current D2 ADA President. "While the number of deserving student-athletes continues to increase annually, the number of institutions recognizing these individuals on campus also continues to trend upwards. We look forward to eclipsing the 200-institution barrier next year."

To be eligible, student-athletes must have completed at least two years of college-level courses and have been an active member of an intercollegiate team during the last academic year.
