SAN BRUNO, CA --- With the conclusion of the 2013-14 academic year, the West Coast Conference announced the 13th annual WCC Commissioner's Honor Roll, which recognizes student-athletes that have balanced athletic success with academic excellence.

For the third consecutive year, over 1,000 WCC student-athletes garnered honors on the Commissioner's Honor Roll for possessing at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. With the addition of the University of the Pacific, more than 1,200 student-athletes qualified for recognition establishing a new conference record. 

BYU had a total of 83 student-athletes that earned the academic honors. Of those, 17 made the Gold Honor Roll, 18 received Silver Honor Roll accolades and 48 were selected to the Bronze Honor Roll.

The conference recognizes those on the WCC Commissioner's Honor Roll in three separate categories: Gold Honors (4.00-3.75 GPA), Silver Honors (3.74-3.50 GPA) and Bronze Honors (3.49-3.00)
