The Liberty League commissioner, Tracy King has announced that 1,231 spring sport student-athletes have qualified for the league's All-Academic Teams in their respective sports. Bard had 32 student-athletes named to the All-Academic team.

To be recognized as a member of the All-Academic team, a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in class standing and enrolled full-time with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30. The Liberty League elevated the GPA requirement from 3.20 to 3.30 in 2016-17 to follow the established standard for eligibility for College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-America awards.

The mark surpasses the previous high of 1,123 set last spring (2024). It also marked the fifth consecutive year that more than 1,000 spring sport student-athletes have qualified for the All-Academic Teams.

"The fact that we saw an increase of more than 100 student-athletes qualifying for our all-academic teams is remarkable," said King. "Our student-athletes are incredibly well-rounded individuals, excelling in the classroom and on the playing field while also engaging with their local communities. The academic achievement of our student-athletes has always been a great source of pride for our member institutions. I applaud our students for their outstanding work in the classroom."
