For the first time in school history, all 16 University of Toledo varsity sports teams earned team grade point averages of 3.0 or higher, Vice President and Athletic Director Mike O’Brien announced today.
Overall, UT student-athletes earned a grade point average of 3.258 in spring semester, the second-highest department GPA in UT history, trailing only the 3.266 set in spring 2012.
It is also the 13th consecutive semester in which UT student-athletes earned a combined GPA of 3.1 or higher.
“We could not be more proud of what our student-athletes accomplished in the classroom this past semester,” O’Brien said. “For every team to earn at least a 3.0 grade point average says so much about the commitment to academics of our student-athletes. It also speaks of the great support provided by our coaches, athletic department academic staff and University faculty members who help them reach their goals.
“This is truly a great achievement for our student-athletes, one in which all of Rocket Nation can take great pride.”
Individually, 23 student-athletes earned President’s List honors with a perfect 4.0 GPA, while 35 percent (119 of 340) earned a spot on the Dean’s List by garnering at least a 3.50 GPA, and 70 percent (238 of 340) achieved a 3.0 grade point average or better for spring semester.
Women’s soccer had the highest team GPA at 3.640. Baseball had the highest GPA for a men’s team with 3.307.
