Two-Minute Drill: Redhawk Student-Athletes Soar in the Classroom

SEMO Athletics

SEMO Athletics won its first-ever Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner's Cup, the league's ultimate symbol of overall athletic excellence in Conference-sponsored championships.

In addition to winning championships and earning athletic accolades, Redhawk student-athletes also performed at high levels in the classroom. During a challenging spring 2021 semester during which every Redhawk team was competing in-season, SEMO Athletics achieved a 3.23 departmental GPA. Fourteen of SEMO's 15 sports finished with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher

Individually, a total of 122 student-athletes made the Dean's List in the fall and 105 student-athletes earned that distinction in the spring. There were 146 student-athletes on the President's List, including 78 in the fall and 68 in the spring.

Several Redhawk student athletes earned recognition across campus. Tennis senior Maja Lundell was one of five undergraduate students to receive the 2020-21 President's Spirit of Southeast Award.

Two soccer student athletes were recognized by their academic departments: Morgan McCourt received the Department of Economics' Outstanding Overall Student Award, and Kate Daus was awarded the Department of Communication Studies Public Advocacy Award

And achieving the ultimate goal, a total of 67 student-athletes graduated during the 2020-21 academic year.
