The Academic All State Submission Form
for Track & Field (INDIVIDUALS)
will be turned back on and begin accepting
submissions the day after the State Finals.<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Athletes must place in the Top 8 in an event (including relays) at the MHSAA State Finals AND have a 3.500 minimum CUMULATIVE GPA on 4.000 scale. Additionally, any athlete who competes in the MHSAA State Finals meet (regardless of finish position) with a 4.000 GPA is also eligible. <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Academic All State Awards are based on a 4.0 grading scale and submitted to 3 decimal places (ie 3.985).<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your school uses weighted grades for AP or other courses, then it is the responsibility of the coach or person submitting to convert the grades (BY HAND IF NECESSARY)<\/strong> to a 4.0 Scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking a GPA of 4.234 and simply truncating it to 4.000 is NOT an acceptable conversion.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a student has earned a \u201cA-\u201d \u2026 in ANY class \u2026 EVER \u2026 he\/she does NOT have a 4.0 GPA for the purposes of Academic All State Awards.\u00a0 A 4.000 means that a student has earned ALL \u201cA\u201d grades, EVERY semester so far.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An \u201cA\u201d in an Advanced Placement<\/em> class is worth 4.000. An \u201cA\u201d in a college-dual-enrollment class<\/em> is worth 4.00.  An \u201cA\u201d in Sub-Remedial-Basket-Weaving-For-Dummies<\/em> is worth 4.000.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANY grade of \u201cA+ or A\u201d = 4.000 \u2026 regardless of the class.
ANY grade of \u201cA-\u201d = 3.700 \u2026 regardless of the class.
ANY grade of \u201cB\u201d = 3.000 \u2026 regardless of the class.
ANY grade of \u201cB-\u201d = 2.700 \u2026 regardless of the class.
ANY grade of \u201cC+\u201d = 2.300 \u2026 regardless of the class.
ANY grade of \u201cC\u201d = 2.000 \u2026 regardless of the class.
ANY grade of \u201cC-\u201d = 1.700 \u2026 regardless of the class.
ANY grade of \u201cD+\u201d = 1.300 \u2026 regardless of the class.
ANY grade of \u201cD\u201d = 1.000 \u2026 regardless of the class.
ANY grade of \u201cF\u201d = 0.000 \u2026 regardless of the class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may need to go through each grade in the student\u2019s transcript and total them up and calculate the average.  Submissions that are made incorrectly will not be considered.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
