Gerrits was also named to the West Coast Conference All-Academic Team, his first-career academic honor, and was a member of WSU's fall President's Honor Roll, while maintaining a 3.78 GPA and completing a degree in finance.
Rodriguez – entering with credits from classes in Spain – boasted a 3.93 cumulative GPA while pursuing a business degree. Yalaho transferred from Texas Tech and holds a 3.57 GPA in the finance major.

All-District honorees must be in at least sophomore standing and are required to maintain a 3.5 cumulative grade point average, while participating in at least 90% of competitions or starting 66% of games.
