JACKSONVILLE – It was another successful year for Jacksonville State University student-athletes in the classroom as the Gamecocks combined to post a 3.256 cumulative grade-point average for the 2020-21 academic year.
Â
JSU had 10 teams register a 3.4 GPA or better, and 14 of its 17 varsity sports above 3.0. The 3.256 mark comes after students began returning to classrooms following the Covid-19 pandemic, and falls just behind the department's record 3.31 cumulative GPA set last year.
Â
"This was another great year for our student-athletes in the classroom," Athletic Director Greg Seitz said. "Our student-athletes put in a lot of hours to meet the high standards that come with wearing the Gamecock logo on their uniforms and I want to congratulate them for their hard work in the classroom. It is also a testament to the hard work of our coaching staffs and the academic staff we have to help our student-athletes achieve their best."
Â
JSU's volleyball program led the way with the beach team boasting a 3.785, while the indoor squad compiled a 3.734 overall mark. Women's golf recorded the third-best team GPA with a 3.646, followed by four teams with 3.5 figures including women's cross country (3.584), soccer (3.575), rifle (3.561) and softball (3.521).
Â
In the Gamecocks' final year as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference, all programs combined for a 3.235 GPA during the fall 2020 semester, followed by a 3.278 for spring 2021.
