HOUGHTON, Mich. (WLUC) - The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) has announced its All-Academic and All-Academic Excellence Teams for all 2022-23 Winter Sports, and 36 Michigan Tech student-athletes earned recognition.

GLIAC Academic Excellence teams are comprised of student-athletes that have a cumulative GPA of 3.50-4.0. Grades are based on marks from the 2022 fall semester.
