Following is a summary of Division II news from the week of October 5-9.

• Data from the first two years of the Academic Performance Census show that high school GPA is a more accurate predictor of success in college than scores on standardized tests. The Division II Academic Requirements Committee is studying the results to determine whether changes in initial-eligibility requirements are necessary down the road.
• The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association will reinstate Winston-Salem State as a member once the school completes its reclassification to Division II. Winston-Salem State, formerly a member of the CIAA until the school began a reclassification to Division I in 2004, announced it was seeking reinstatement within Division II last month.
• The Division II Conference Commissioners Association has named Anna Atkinson of Wingate and Jake Visser of Ferris State as the 2008-09 female and male Division II National Scholar-Athletes of the Year.
