February 01, 2022 | Athletics
NORMAN — University of Oklahoma student-athletes extended their streak of classroom success by posting a 3.19 cumulative GPA during the fall 2021 semester, the OU Athletics Department announced Tuesday. The performance tied the previous record set during the previous two semesters (fall 2020 and spring 2021) and resulted in a school-record 20th 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 fall GPA reflects the overall academic performance of those student-athletes from their first semester of collegiate enrollment through the completion of the fall 2021 term.
Fifteen of OU's 19 athletics teams posted better than a 3.0 cumulative GPA and five programs produced their highest cumulative GPAs: men's cross country (3.67), women's gymnastics (3.71), softball (3.36), women's track and field (3.43; tied) and volleyball (3.67).
Here are some additional fall semester academic accomplishments of OU student-athletes:
• Of the 558 student-athletes included in the latest grade report, 365 (65%) earned a 3.0 or higher GPA during the fall 2021 semester.
• Ninety student-athletes (16%) registered a perfect 4.0 GPA during the fall 2021 semester.
• OU student-athletes have collectively earned a cumulative GPA of 3.10 or higher in seven of the last eight semesters.
