Troy Student-Athletes Excel in the Classroom During Unprecedented Spring Semester

TROY, Ala. – Student-athletes across the country endured a spring semester like none other with in-person classes, practice and competition abruptly halted in March. Troy University's student-athletes responded in resounding fashion in the classroom with record-setting academic performances.

"It would have been easy for our student-athletes to lose focus on their academics due to the nature of the circumstances that surrounded them these last two months," Director of Athletics Brent Jones said. "However, they did the opposite and performed at an elite level in the classroom to close out the spring semester. We could not be prouder of their tremendous work."

Troy's collective student-athlete population finished the spring semester with a 3.11 grade point average. Eleven of Troy's 15 athletic programs finished with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher with eight of those programs posting GPAs of 3.5 or greater.

Since the Troy Athletics' Student-Athlete Services Office began recording program GPAs in 2010, the men's tennis (3.75), women's tennis (3.67) and men's cross country (3.56) programs all recorded the GPAs in their respective program's history, while women's golf (3.52) was its highest since 2013. Joining those four programs with team GPAs of 3.5 or greater were soccer (3.59), softball (3.63), volleyball (3.63) and women's cross country (3.74).
