Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University (APSU) student-athletes continued their recent string of success in the classroom, the department announcing its 297 athletes combined to post a 3.292 grade-point average during the Spring 2020 semester.
It is the sixth consecutive semester the APSU athletics department has posted a 3.0 GPA or better and the eighth time in department history. In addition, each of the 15 varsity teams recorded a 3.0 GPA for the second consecutive semester.
“I must commend all of our student-athletes for their accomplishments in the classroom,” said APSU Director of Athletics Gerald Harrison.
“Each of them overcame the challenges resulting from COVID-19, the resulting end of spring athletics activities and a rapid move to online learning. The way they handled themselves demonstrates every facet of the ‘Total Gov’ concept we discuss every day. I could not be prouder of them, our staff and particularly our student-athlete support staff,” Harrison stated.
The department saw 232 of its 297 student-athletes receive academic recognition during the fall semester. A complete listing of the Spring 2020 Athletics Director’s Honor Roll follows this release.
Established in 1990-91, the Athletics Director’s Honor Roll recognizes the outstanding academic accomplishments of Austin Peay State University student-athletes. To earn recognition student-athletes must be enrolled full time and achieve at least a 3.0 grade-point average for a semester.
