ICC continues proud academic success with record-breaking year

Itawamba Community College has long had a proud tradition in both academics and athletics.

This season those proud traditions combined to take the college's athletic programs to new heights after setting records for earning the most Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) and Nation Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) academic awards in this history of the programs.

All ten intercollegiate athlete programs were represented with 32 student-athletes earned Mississippi Associaiton of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) Academic All-State honors.

The good news continued for Ball-Williams when 18 student-athletes were named to the NJCAA Academic honors list and six programs finished in the Top 15 amonst the nation's top academic squads in their respective sports.

The men's soccer team, who won the 2013-14 Academic National Championship, missed out on defending their title by one-tenth of a point to Sussex County Community College, but earned the MACJC Academic Team award after finishing with a 3.32 GPA.
