TROY, N.Y. – Liberty League commissioner Tracy King has announced that 845 fall sport student-athletes have qualified for the league's All-Academic Teams in their respective sports, marking the highest total for fall sports since the league began recognizing outstanding academic achievement. That total surpasses the 835 student-athletes who earned a place on the seven All-Academic Teams in the fall of 2021.
The Liberty League's fall championship sports include men's and women's cross country, field hockey, football, men's and women's soccer and women's volleyball.
