REPORT CARDS…Who’s the Smartest Team at Utah Tech?
The day we all dread...report card day.
If you're like me, you can turn an F into an A with one vertical line, or a C into a B etc...
Utah Tech athletes don't really need to do any of that.
Here's the details on how they did this school year in the classroom.
Per a press release from UTU and full link to article is HERE:
"The Utah Tech University Athletic Department combined to post a 3.277 cumulative GPA among its 15 varsity sports for the 2022-23 academic year. This year's GPA included a 3.26 spring GPA, to go with last fall's 3.29 average, which marked the 12th-straight semester and the 17th semester in the last 20 overall that Trailblazer student-athletes combined to earn at least a 3.00 GPA.
In addition, this year's 3.277 GPA is the second-highest grade point average in its NCAA era, bested only by a 3.385 average set during the 2019-20 academic year.
In all, 14 of Utah Tech's 15 varsity sports posted at least a 3.00 GPA this past season, with the women's tennis team leading the way with a department-best 3.659 GPA.
The Trailblazer women's swimming program finished second on the list with a 3.584 GPA, followed by women's golf (3.582), softball (3.578), and the women's soccer team (3.568 GPA) rounded out the top-five overall."
Athletic Director Ken Beazer:
"I am very proud of the continuous success and achievement enjoyed by our student-athletes in the classroom," said UT Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Ken Beazer. "Our student-athletes are driven to be the very best on the field and on the courts, and their collective drive for excellence carries over into their overall academic success."
