RJ Kruse, of Milford, has been named to the 2022-23 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Scholar-Athlete award list. Kruse is a student at Commonwealth University-Lock Haven and a baseball student-athlete.

According to the PSAC criteria, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25 upon completion of the academic year to be eligible for the PSAC Scholar-Athlete Award. Overall, PSAC honored 3,794 student-athletes from the league’s 18 institutions after the conclusion of the 2022-23 academic year as PSAC Scholar-Athletes.

The 2022-23 PSAC Scholar-Athlete total of 3,794 (52% of the entire PSAC student-athlete population) marks the eighth straight year the PSAC has awarded at least 40% of its student-athlete population with “Scholar-Athlete” status.

The total number of PSAC Scholar-Athletes dropped from 4,144 recipients in 2021-22 due to the league’s more stringent criteria in determining student-athlete eligibility for the award.
