Spring Semester Academic Success -- THURSDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Spring Semester Academic Success for Louisville Athletics

Louisville prides itself not only on the success on the court/field, but also the success on the academic side of the athletics world. 510 student-athletes were named to the Athletic Directors Honor Roll while Athletics as a whole had a 3.327 GPA.

In order to qualify for the Athletics Directors Honor Roll, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.0 GPA. For the 25th straight semester, the combined GPA was a 3.0 or better.

22 of the 23 recognized Division I teams logged a 3.0 GPA or better with field hockey showing up the rest of the teams again with a school-high 3.819 GPA. Baseball was the highest on the men's side with a 3.449.

Several teams had individuals post a perfect 4.0 GPA on the semester. Women's track and field had 13 with a 4.0, women's swim and dive had 11, and women's soccer had 10.

96 student-athletes graduated in the spring semester with 111 total graduating this most recent school year.

We constantly brag on the success on the sports side of things, but it's awesome to see so much success on the academics side for Louisville Athletics.

Happy Thursday and Go Cards!

While we spend a majority of our time covering the highlights and successes of what happens on the court and field, we also love to boast about the academic successes of Louisville women's athletes.

While trying to maintain a high GPA can be difficult for any college student, adding the athletics part to that makes these accomplishments that much more impressive.

With women's basketball hitting the road for a couple games, there has been talk of the Cardinal Marching and Pep Band hosting a watch party as Louisville visits Florida State on Sunday. The event is set to be hosted at the George Howe Red Barn on campus. I've known George for several years now and he's an absolutely awesome person. I will gather more information on the event and provide more details on Thursday.

Happy Tuesday and Go Cards!
