Academic Excellence Award

Each year an Academic Excellence Award is given to the HU athletic team with the highest team grade point average for the year. This year the women’s cross country team and women’s tennis team tied for the top spot for 2020-2021 with a team GPA of 3.655.

“I want to congratulate all of our student-athletes for their outstanding academic performance on the year,” said HU athletic director Lori Culler. “This certainly was a year with unique challenges related to COVID, but our student-athletes met those challenges with perseverance and resilience as evidenced by 16 of our teams tallying a 3.0 or higher GPA and all 18 programs posting a 2.8 or better.

“We are proud of our student-athletes as they continue to maintain a high standard of excellence in the classroom as well as on the playing field. Well done Forester STUDENT-athletes!”
