Austin Peay State University has 126 Govs named to OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll

August 15, 2019 |

Brentwood, TN – Austin Peay State University (APSU) student-athletes continued to shatter records in the classroom, the Ohio Valley Conference announcing 126 Governors were recognized on its Commissioner’s Honor Roll, Monday.

The 126 Austin Peay student-athletes – nearly 40 percent of all the department’s athletes – named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll topped the record set last year and is the fourth time since 2001 more than 100 student-athletes were recognized in a single year. The Govs were part of an OVC-record 1,379 student-athletes recognized on the honor roll.

“The foundation of our ‘Total Gov’ concept is achieving at a high level in all that we do as Governors,” said Austin Peay Director of Athletics Gerald Harrison.

“We are proud to see over one-third of our student-athletes receiving recognition on the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll. It is a testament to the amount of work our student-athletes and student-athlete support services staff put in every day to put academics first,” Harrison stated.

To be recognized on the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll a student-athlete must have achieved at least a 3.25 grade-point average, have been eligible and on the team throughout the competitive season in their chosen NCAA-sponsored sport(s) and used a season of competition.

Austin Peay State University student-athletes broke academic several records during the 2018-19 academic year. A record 32 Governors received the OVC Academic Medal of Honor, Monday. APSU student-athletes also set the overall single-semester GPA record with a 3.152 mark in the fall and followed that with a 3.096 mark to set the spring semester GPA mark. All told, APSU athletes posted a 3.14 GPA during the 2018-19 academic year, setting another department record.

The OVC releases the Team Academic Achievement Award winners and the overall Academic Achievement Award, Wednesday.
