MSSU student-athletes post success in the classroom

(From MSSU Lions Athletic News)

The Missouri Southern athletic department once again can boast about the success of its student-athletes as the spring semester grades have been posted.

The student-athletes at Missouri Southern have posted a cumulative grade point average (GPA) above a 3.00 for the fifth-straight semester.

This is the second year in a row the Lions have finished the year with a cumulative 3.16 department GPA. Fourteen of the 16 sports and activities it sponsors report a 3.00 team GPA or higher, with the remaining sports at 2.75 or higher. 








The volleyball team had the highest team GPA at 3.58, while the men's golf program had the highest GPA for men's programs at 3.32.

The numbers don't stop there as 199 student-athletes had a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or better with 105 of them posting a 3.50 cumulative GPA or higher. Nine student-athletes maintained a perfect 4.00 GPA, while the department graduated 97 student-athletes in 2019-20.

The success for the department this year wasn't only in the classroom, but also in the field of play. The department had 23 MIAA Athletes of the Week throughout the year, including two National Players of the Week. Fifty-five were named All-MIAA, while 24 were named All-Region and multiple student-athletes earned All-American honors.
