CLEVELAND – For the first time in the history of Western Michigan Athletics, the women's programs have been named the winner of the Mid-American Conference Women's Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR) Academic Achievement Award.
The FAR Awards are designed to recognize the Conference institution with the highest overall combination of both grade point average (GPA) and Academic Progress Rate (APR) rank by gender. The GPA was based upon the 2022-23 academic year. The Broncos swept the awards this season, with the men's athletic programs also earning the honors.
The Conference FAR's worked with the Athletic Academic Advisors to compute an award that best represents the academic achievement of student-athletes in a competitive setting.
