The 2007-08 Union-Tribune Student-Athletes of the Year highlight the 23rd edition of the U-T All-Academic Team. During the school year, more than 13,500 All-Academic Team certificates were awarded among the approximately 165,000 high school students in the San Diego Section. The All-Academic Team honors juniors and seniors who participated in a California Interscholastic Federation-approved varsity sport and maintained a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better. In addition to trophies awarded to the Student-Athletes of the Year, each Team Captain earned a plaque symbolic of the top academic-athletic achievement in that sport, and the 280 All-Academic First Team choices received a varsity-jacket patch.
