July 07, 2021 | Athletics
NORMAN — University of Oklahoma student-athletes extended their streak of classroom success by posting a 3.19 cumulative GPA during the spring 2021 semester. The performance tied the previous record set during the fall 2020 semester and resulted in a school-record 19th consecutive semester of surpassing a 3.0 cumulative figure.
OU's streak of student-athletes posting at least a 3.0 GPA began in spring 2012. The 3.19 cumulative spring GPA reflects the overall academic performance of those student-athletes from their first semester of collegiate enrollment through the completion of the spring 2021 term.
Sixteen of OU's 19 athletics teams earned better than a 3.0 spring semester GPA and three programs produced their highest cumulative GPAs: men's cross country (3.55), women's track and field (3.43) and volleyball (3.58).
Here is a look at some additional spring semester academic accomplishments of OU student-athletes:
- Of the 511 student-athletes included in the latest grade report, 317 earned a 3.0 or higher GPA during the spring 2021 semester.
- Eighty-five student-athletes registered a perfect 4.0 GPA during the spring semester.
- OU student-athletes have collectively earned a cumulative GPA of higher than a 3.10 in six of the last seven semesters.
