Vaquero Baseball Wins ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Santa Barbara City College Baseball program earned a prestigious academic award last week. For the 2024-25 school year, the Vaqueros were named one of the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Team Academic Excellence recipients.

To receive the award, a baseball team must compete at the high school or college level, have their head coach be an ABCA member, and maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher on a 4.0 scale.

Of the nearly 750 total programs across the country to earn this distinction, the Vaqueros are one of just 41 community colleges. Even more selective, they are one of eight California Community Colleges with the title.
