NEWARK, Del. - - Now in its 17th year of existence, the Wilmington University athletics department announced a record 148 student-athletes earned the distinction of Academic All-Star for its annual Athletics Academic All-Star program.

The Academic All-Star award is given to student-athletes who carry a minimum 3.50 cumulative GPA. This year's honorees make up more than 45% of the total student-athlete population at the University.

Wilmington, the second university in the state of Delaware to hold Chi Alpha Sigma National College Athlete Honor Society status, recognized 14 individuals who became second-year honorees and inducted 32 more outstanding individuals into the 2026 class.

To be inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma National College Athlete Honor Society, an undergraduate student-athlete must carry a 3.50 or greater cumulative GPA and be of junior academic status at the beginning of their fifth semester.

Chi Alpha Sigma's purpose is to: encourage and reward high academic scholarship of college athletes at four-year accredited colleges and universities; to recognize outstanding academic achievement by intercollegiate varsity letter winners; to encourage good citizenship, moral character, and friendship among the high academic achievers in college athletics, to recognize and honor the individual athlete, his/her team, sport, athletic department, and college or university; and to mentor and to provide leadership to other athletes.
