The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference announced its 2011-12 winter-sport Academic All-Conference Team, and Buena Vista had eight individuals earn spots on the team.
Senior Chase Weaver, who earned a spot as a member of the men's basketball team, was one of six individuals to earn such honors for the second time this season after landing a spot with a fall team (football).
BVU was one of three schools with eight individuals represented.
