WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Cape Fear Community College has announced the largest graduating class of student-athletes in program history.

Thirty-three student-athletes walked across the stage on May 12th, representing an 89% graduation rate.

“CFCC is proud to celebrate our largest graduating class of student-athletes,” said CFCC President Jim Morton. “These individuals have excelled academically and demonstrated the commitment, determination, and perseverance required to succeed in their respective sports.
