Spring 2024 Semester Sees Continued Academic Success from Radford Student-Athletes

RADFORD, Va. – Following the conclusion of the 2024 spring semester, the Radford University Athletics Department has continued its commitment to academic excellence seeing an incredible 88% of Highlander student-athletes achieve a 3.0 grade point average or better.

Out of Radford's 266 total student athletes, 234 eclipsed the 3.0 mark as 15 out of the 16 Highlanders' varsity athletics programs reported a team GPA of 3.0 or better.

"The work our student-athletes put in semester after semester is incredible!" said Associate Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Support Services Allison McCoy. "Our student-athletes continue to show a true dedication towards academic excellence. We are immensely proud of all our Highlanders!"

Beyond that, 186 Highlanders earned a 3.40 GPA or higher, placing them on the Radford University Dean's List, while 53 of those student-athletes achieved a perfect 4.0.

The softball and women's cross country programs topped all squads with spring terms over a 3.80 GPA. Women's golf (3.72 GPA), volleyball (3.64 GPA) and women's soccer (3.62 GPA) were close behind while men's cross country led the men's side with a 3.56 spring GPA and 3.48 cumulative GPA.

With that being said, GPA is only one measurement of success away from athletic competition. Radford's student-athletes also represented the department extraordinarily well in faculty-led research opportunities, internships, community service/volunteer outreach, and more.
