XULA: 2017 Flickinger Honor Roll has 100-plus qualifiers



NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana Athletics honored a school-record 102 students Saturday who qualified for the Sister Grace Mary Flickinger Honor Roll.
     
Flickinger Honor Roll honorees are athletes, managers, graduate assistants and spirit-squad performers who passed 12 or more hours with a minimum 3.0 grade-point average during the spring 2017 semester or the fall 2017 semester. Students in graduate school must pass six hours. The students were recognized during the XULA-Dillard basketball Crosstown Classic presented by Raising Cane's at the Convocation Center.
    
 "The Sister Grace Mary Flickinger Honor Roll is an accomplishment bigger than any victory in competition," said Director of Athletics & Recreation Jason Horn. "The challenge academically remains a top priority, and we strive to keep our student-athletes on the road toward academic excellence, graduation and productive post-college careers."
     
This is the fourth year of the awards, previously known as the Athletic Director's Honor Roll but renamed for 2017 to honor a longtime XULA biology faculty member and faculty athletics representative. Flickinger retired from XULA after the 2016-17 academic year.
