Whitaker also earned all-state honors as a member of Courtland’s state champion 400 relay team. It’s comprised of him, Brayden Bachiller, Daijon Edwards and Anthony Marshall, a group that broke their own school record and earned all-American honors at Adidas Nationals in June.

Women's Basketball Named to the 2024

ATLANTA (July 22, 2025) – University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, St. Cloud State University, Colorado College, University of the Cumberlands, and Colby Community College sit atop their respective divisions in the 2024-25 WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Rolls announced today by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.

The Ottawa University women’s basketball team finished the season with a team GPA of 3.662 which is tied for 12th in the NAIA. This is the second straight season that the Braves have been named to the list. Ottawa came in at no. 24 in 2023-24. 

“What an honor for our program and most importantly all of our hard-working student-athletes to make the WBCA Academic Top 25 for the second year in a row,” said OU head women’s basketball coach Hunter Bondurant. “Our first team goal of the season is to make this list and so to finish as high as 12th in the nation in overall GPA is such a gratifying moment for them. So thankful for all the hard work our team puts in both on the court and in the classroom. Couldn’t be more proud of their effort and dedication!”

The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes college women’s basketball teams across the nation in their respective divisions that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2024-25 season is the 30th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.

Green Bay, coached by Kayla Karius, finished first among NCAA Division I members with a 3.862 cumulative team grade-point average. St. Cloud state, coached by Lori Fish, claimed top academic honors in NCAA Division II with a 3.892 GPA. Colorado College, coached by Katherine Menendez, took top honors in NCAA Division III with a 3.864 GPA. Cumberlands, coached by Rick Reeves, was No. 1 in the NAIA division with a 3.837 GPA. Colby, coached by Darin Spence, finished atop the two-year college standings with a 3.662 GPA.

“The WBCA is pleased to recognize those women’s basketball programs that have committed themselves to excellence on the court and in the classroom,” said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew.  “The 119 teams we honor this year strive to achieve all-around success and we commend their efforts. Congratulations!”

Here are the 2024-25 WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Rolls. The head coach listed for each institution was its head coach during the 2024-25 season. Teams having a 3.0 combined GPA and qualifying for consideration for the top 25 in their respective divisions are listed as special mentions.

* There were only 19 institutions eligible for ranking in the two-year college division.

A team’s GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0) earned by the total number of academic hours attempted by all team members in the academic terms (semesters or quarters) that the season spans. Weighted grades are converted to a 4.0 scale. The GPAs are rounded to the nearest thousandth of a point. Teams must be nominated for the honor by their head coach who must be a WBCA member. A team must have a 3.000 or better GPA to be nominated.

Women in Sport Summit Highlights Growing Commercial Importance of Women's Sport

The Women in Sport Summit 2024 served as a clear indicator of the increasing commercial viability and strategic importance of women’s sport.

The event, which sold out, brought together a high calibre of speakers and attendees, highlighting the sector’s rapid professionalisation and its role in driving new audience engagement and growth. The sold-out status of the 2024 Summit signifies a market trend for the sector.

Reflecting on the previous event, Karren Rogers, noted: “This is the first time I’ve seen Women in Sport events sold out, so it’s pretty exciting to see that, having come so many years.”

This shift reflects heightened industry interest and demand for insights into a rapidly expanding market segment for Women in Sport.

The presence of a “huge calibre of speakers” and “international speakers,” as observed by Genevieve McCulloch and Karren Rogers, further validates the professional depth now present in the women’s sports environment.

The discussions at the summit focused on themes of leadership, purpose, and progress, with Paul Nolan identifying some ideas shared as “the cutting edge of driving new audience and new growth.”

The Women in Sport Summit highlights a strategic importance for sports business professionals to actively engage with the women’s sport movement, recognising its potential as a key growth engine for the broader industry.

In addition, Indicating a mature sector focusing on collaborative development and emphasising knowledge exchange, Ilene Hauser, concluded: “There’s so much good information out there and people that are knowledgeable of the space.”

Looking ahead, the 2025 summit will return to the Gold Coast for two days on 27-28 August and three major events, aiming to go further, deeper, and bigger, and signalling continued investment and expansion in Women in Sport.
