Student-Athletes Achieve High Academic Marks During Spring Semester and Year

MSU Athletics

Despite an unorthodox semester with a majority of academic work from home online, Morehead State student-athletes performed exceptionally admirable for the spring 2020 semester and for the entire 2019-20 academic year.

Fifteen (15) teams had combined team grade point averages at 3.0 or better for the spring, while 13 achieved team GPAs of 3.0 or better for the entire year. Morehead State's overall department GPA was 3.43 for the spring semester and 3.28 for the year.

Women's golf posted the highest team GPA for the semester with a 3.89 and also for the year at 3.80. Baseball (3.50), Men's Cross Country/Track and Field (3.62), Soccer (3.66), Softball (3.66), Volleyball (3.73), Beach Volleyball (3.75) and Rifle (3.74) also tallied team scores of 3.5 or higher for the spring.

"Our student-athletes should be commended for their work this semester," said Director of Student-Athlete Services Drew Barnett. "They had to adapt to a new way of learning and completing their work that was not face-to-face. We stayed in contact with as many student-athletes as we could during the semester to provide guidance and mentoring. I am very proud of the work they accomplished this semester and this year."

In addition, 62 student-athletes achieved a 4.0 GPAs for the spring semester.
