Additionally, 13 of UT’s 15 sport programs earned team GPAs of 3.0 or above, and every sport had at least a 2.9 GPA.

Football recorded a team GPA of 3.027, the first time the Rocket football program has cracked the 3.0 GPA mark.

Individually, 29 student-athletes earned president’s list honors with a perfect 4.0 GPA, while 35 percent (121 of 345) earned a spot on the dean’s list by garnering at least a 3.50 GPA. Additionally, a record 71 percent of UT student-athletes achieved a 3.0 grade point average or better for the 2013 spring semester.

Women’s soccer had the highest team GPA at 3.667, the fifth time in the last seven semesters the soccer program has led all UT sports. Women’s volleyball (3.573) and women’s swimming (3.518) also had team GPAs above a 3.5. Men’s golf had the highest GPA for a men’s team with 3.406.

“This past semester was another outstanding one for our student-athletes in the classroom,” said UT Vice President and Athletic Director Mike O’Brien. “It is a tremendous feat for our teams to earn a 3.2 grade point average for only the second time in school history. Additionally, we came extremely close to having all of our sports teams earn a 3.0 GPA, which would have been another first for our department.

“The academic achievements of our student-athletes continue to be a point of pride for our University,” he said. “Congratulations to our student-athletes, as well as the coaches, athletic department academic staff and University faculty members who support and nurture their pursuit of excellence.”
