Omaha, Neb. -- For the third consecutive season and fourth time in the last six years Creighton Baseball was one of over 750 college and high school programs from across the country who were awarded the 2024-25 ABCA (American Baseball Coaches Association) Team Academic Excellence Award, presented by Sports Attack. Teams from every level of college and high school baseball were honored with this year's award, which highlights programs coached by ABCA members that posted a GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale for the cumulative 2023-24 academic year.
The Bluejays closed the 2024-25 academic year with a GPA of 3.34, including a 3.29 in the spring of 2025. Four members of the BIG EAST Conference collected the ABCA Academic honor, with Georgetown, St. John's and Seton Hall joining Creighton.
Over 300 high school programs and 440 collegiate programs were recognized with this year's award.
Coaches were able to nominate their teams for the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award following the conclusion of their spring semesters prior to the nomination deadline of July 15th. To be honored, teams had to meet the following criteria:
- Must be a high school or college team
- Head coach must be a current ABCA member
- Team must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 on a 4.0 scale for the 2024-25 academic year
