A record 209 student-athletes received academic recognition for the Fall 2018 semester, including 107 recognized on the dean’s list. It’s the third time 100 or more student athletes have been named to the dean’s list.

“I am so proud of our Governor student-athletes for what they’ve been able to accomplish academically,” APSU Director of Athletics Gerald Harrison said. “These numbers demonstrate our commitment to the “Total Gov” concept. I love the fact we compete for Ohio Valley Conference championships, are good citizens of the Clarksville community and excel in the classroom.”

“I would like to thank Katie Ethridge, Ryan Combs and Haley Jacobi in academic services for all they do to help our student-athletes achieve at the highest level in the classroom.”

Thirteen of the Governors 15 varsity programs achieved at least a 3.0 team GPA, and five programs – men’s cross country (3.28), football (2.76), men’s golf (3.38), women’s golf (3.80) and volleyball (3.68) – set program records for highest team GPA.

Men’s tennis led the way on the men’s side with a 3.73 team GPA, highlighted by eight dean’s list members and three student-athletes with 4.0 GPAs.
