CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University’s student-athletes posted the second-highest grade-point average in department history and set a fall semester record with a 3.375 GPA during the Fall 2024 semester.
“I want to congratulate our Governors student-athletes, I could not be more proud of our student-athletes and all of their hard work,” said Austin Peay Vice President and Director of Athletics Gerald Harrison. “I want to thank our student-athlete success team for all their hard work; this record-breaking semester would not be possible without Kristal McGreggor, Bobby Fieman, Kendell Johnson, and Trey Price. All facets of our athletics department are aligned in their commitment to the ‘Total Gov Concept’ and that shows today!”
It is the 15th consecutive semester the APSU athletics department has posted a 3.0 GPA or better and the 18th time in department history. All 15 Austin Peay varsity programs recorded at least a 3.0 GPA or better for the first time since the Fall 2022 semester. In addition, the Governors’ cheer and dance teams posted a 3.0 GPA or better.
Austin Peay also had 10 teams finish with a 3.5-or-better team GPA, with five teams posting program record GPAs. The Governors women’s golf team led all programs with a 3.936 GPA – the second-highest team GPA in department history, trailing only the men’s tennis team’s 3.956 GPA during the Spring 2020 semester.
More than 76 percent of the department’s student-athletes received academic recognition. Ninety of its 373 student-athletes posted a 4.0 GPA during the fall and were a part of the 165 student-athletes eligible for Austin Peay’s Dean’s List recognition, which the university will announce at a later date. Another 119 Governors were named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, which is awarded to graduate students with a 3.0 GPA and undergraduate student-athletes who finish a semester with a 3.0 GPA but do not qualify for the APSU Dean’s List.
A complete listing of the Fall 2024 Athletics Director’s Honor Roll follows this release. Individuals eligible for the Austin Peay Dean’s List are also noted.
Established in 1990-91, the Athletics Director’s Honor Roll recognizes the outstanding academic accomplishments of Austin Peay State University student-athletes. Student-athletes must be enrolled full-time and achieve a 3.0 grade-point average for a semester to earn recognition.
ACADEMIC HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SPRING SEMESTER
- PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT. A department-record 90 Governors student-athletes posted a 4.0 GPA – the eighth time 60 or more student-athletes have posted an unblemished GPA. That total surpassed the mark set in the Spring 2024 semester.
- ALL HAIL. Eight Austin Peay teams – men’s basketball, men’s cross country, women’s golf, soccer, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, women’s cross country, and beach volleyball – saw their entire rosters post a 3.0 GPA or better and earn academic recognition. The women’s golf and women’s tennis teams were the only programs to have 100 percent of their student-athletes qualify for the APSU Dean’s List.
- SMASH! BANG! Five Austin Peay teams – men’s basketball, women’s cross country, women’s golf, soccer, and women’s track & field – set team semester GPA records.
