As a department, Midway’s student-athletes maintained a 3.09 GPA for the semester while 25 of the 28 teams recorded a team GPA above a 3.0.

“Semester after semester, our student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom,” said Dr. Rusty Kennedy, Vice President of Admissions and Athletics. “These incredible numbers are a testament to their hard work and dedication to make academics their number one priority.”

The Midway University women’s tennis team recorded the highest team GPA with a 3.55, while the MU women’s cross country team carded the second highest team GPA with a 3.51. The women’s golf team rounded out the top three with a 3.50 team GPA for the semester.
