APSU Athletes Shine Beyond the Field as 15 Varsity Programs Maintain 3.31 GPA

Austin Peay State University Sports - APSU - Governors - Lady GovsClarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) athletics department saw its 15 varsity programs finish the Spring 2024 semester with a 3.31 GPA – the 14th-straight semester the department has posted a mark of at least a 3.0 GPA.

Fourteen APSU varsity programs, who were joined by the Govs’ dance team, finished the spring semester with a 3.0 GPA, while nine finished with a 3.5-or-better team-wide GPA.

The Governors men’s tennis team led all programs with a 3.899 GPA – the second-best in program history and the fourth-best by any Austin Peay State University program since 2013. Beach volleyball, women’s basketball, soccer, softball, and volleyball all posted the second-best GPA in program history, while women’s golf and track and field’s mark this term were the third-best in over a decade.

More than 76 percent of the department’s student-athletes received academic recognition. Seventy-five of its 294 student-athletes posted a 4.0 GPA during the spring and were part of 123 student-athletes eligible for Austin Peay State University Dean’s List recognition, which the university will announce at a later date.

Another 102 Governors were named to the Athletics 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 Spring 2024 Athletics Director’s Honor Roll follows this release. Individuals eligible for the Austin Peay State University Dean’s List are also noted.
