The 2.914 cumulative GPA accumulated by the department’s student-athletes was the eighth-best mark in program history. It also is the fifth consecutive semester the group posted a 2.90 GPA or better.

“Our culture of excellence is the classroom is the most important measure of what it means to be a student-athlete” said Austin Peay athletics director Derek van der Merwe. “Our foundation of success will always be academic excellence. We are proud of these student-athletes.  We are proud of what this says about our commitment to student-athlete success.”

The department named 170 student-athletes to the Spring 2014 Athletics Director’s Honor Roll, representing 54.3 percent of the department’s student-athletes.
