Men's Golf Posts Highest GPA Among All Men's Program's

ORLANDO (UCFKnights.com) – The record-setting streak in the classroom continues for UCF Athletics, as the Knights extended their streak to 24 consecutive semesters with a department grade-point average of 3.0 or better. The UCF Men's Golf team contributed with a combined 3.43 mark, good for the second highest GPA in program history.
 
All UCF student-athletes compiled a 3.30 GPA for the spring of 2019, which is the third-highest in program history. 

Now at 24 consecutive semesters, UCF student-athletes have extended the longest streak of achieving at least a 3.0 GPA as a department in school history. In all, 14 teams had a combined GPA of 3.0 or better this fall, and 10 posted at least a 3.2 GPA.
 
"Our student-athletes continue to perform at a very high level both in the classroom and in their respective sports," said Tara Helton, Associate Athletics Director, Academics. "We here at ASSA are so thankful to be able to work with such dedicated and committed student-athletes. Our continued success in the classroom continues to show the level of commitment put forth here at UCF, not only by the student-athletes and ASSA, but also by the coaching staffs and administration."

Since Vice President and Director of Athletics Danny White's arrival in Orlando, the Knights have not turned in a semester below a 3.0, starting at 3.01 in the spring of 2016. UCF set a program record for a 3.33 GPA in the spring of 2018, and the Knights have posted 3.3 GPAs three times under in the last four years. The top five marks in school history have come over the last six semesters as the Knights continued to win championships in their field of competition.

This semester, 68 percent (259) of student-athletes achieved at least a 3.0 GPA, which was a four percent increase from the Spring 2019 semester. Thirty five (35) Knights recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA, five more than the spring semester. 

The men's golf team earned the highest GPA of all the men's programs with a 3.43. The women's tennis team's 3.63 GPA was the best among women's programs at UCF.
