NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State student-athletes matched a departmental grade-point average (GPA) record for the third-straight semester, while three teams tied or beat their previous team GPA records this spring, Senior Associate Athletics Director for Academics and Life Skills Dr. Paul Downey announced Thursday.
Illinois State student-athletes combined to post a 3.23 cumulative GPA to equal the department's best mark, also set during the Spring and Fall 2016 semesters.
"I am thrilled that we maintained our departmental GPA record with a 3.23 across all of our student-athletes," Downey said. "These marks are about the culture that has been created here by our academic staff, our coaches, our administration and most importantly, by our student-athletes.
