MIAC Release

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Five Saint John's University golf student-athletes achieved 2025-26 Winter and Spring Academic All-MIAC distinction on Thursday, June 25.

Saint John's saw its streak of consecutive academic years leading the MIAC in male honorees end at five – by one honoree – with 141 in 2025-26. St. Olaf edged the Johnnies with 142. Gustavus Adolphus was third (125), followed by Carleton (114), Macalester (112) and Bethel (105). SJU had 61 fall honorees in cross country, football and soccer.

Those honored (listed alphabetically) include:

-Sophomore Mac Drake (Sioux Falls, S.D./O'Gorman), a biology major with a 3.91 GPA;
-Senior Tim Fultz (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater Area), a global business leadership major with a 3.63 GPA;

Student-athletes must be a sophomore, junior or senior academically with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 on a 4.00 scale to qualify for Academic All-MIAC recognition. Transfers, like freshmen, must complete a full academic year to be eligible the following season. 

Athletically, student-athletes must be a member of a MIAC-sponsored, varsity team and be academically and athletically eligible. The student-athlete must have utilized a season of participation (per NCAA and MIAC definitions) and have remained on the sports roster through the conclusion of the sports season.

The Academic All-MIAC honor is the second for Fultz and the first for the other four Johnnies. 

Fultz and Grahek were named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District at-large team June 16.

The Johnnie golf team finished sixth out of nine teams at the 2025 MIAC Championships in late September.
