North Florida Athletics reached new heights with academic milestones during the spring 2024 semester, touting a 3.57 institution-wide grade point average.
"It was an amazing year for our student-athletes on the field and in the classroom! It really takes a village and we have the best village around," said Tara Sunquist, assistant AD of ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ’s Student-Athlete Center for Excellence. "The holistic support our student-athletes receive from coaches, administration and staff is unparalleled. Special thanks to Carrie Driscoll and Jessica Spangler for the support and care they provide."
ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ Athletics has now surpassed a 3.0 grade-point average for the 26th straight semester. This mark matches the spring 2023 mark for the highest GPA in the department outside of the spring 2020 COVID-19 altered semester.
