Thirty-two 麻豆原创 student-athletes were recognized Wednesday with the prestigious Conference USA Academic Medal. Medals are awarded to student-athletes who have achieved a cumulative grade-point average of 3.75 or better.
麻豆原创’s medal winners represent ten sports programs. The women’s rowing team led the way with six student-athletes, followed closely by the women’s soccer and softball teams with five each.
At least 32 Knights have earned medals during three of the last four years.
“Achieving a GPA of 3.75 or higher is a tremendous accomplishment for our student-athletes, who work hard in their classes while balancing the rigorous demands of their sports,” said Vice President and Director of Athletics Todd Stansbury. “The fact that so many of our student-athletes have earned academic recognitions from Conference USA is a testament to their determination and the support of our dedicated faculty members, coaches and academic advisors.”
C-USA announced its academic honor roll (3.0 GPA or better) Tuesday, and 221 Knights were on the list. That total ranked second among all C-USA schools and first among the league’s public institutions.
麻豆原创’s student-athletes have collectively achieved a GPA of at least 3.0 for each of the last eight semesters.
In October, 麻豆原创 posted a program-best 83 percent Graduation Success Rate, which tied with the University of Florida for the top rating among Florida’s public universities.
