SALT LAKE CITY – It was another strong performance in the classroom for the student-athletes at Westminster College during the fall semester. The 267 student-athletes that make up the 17 Griffin teams combined for a 3.352 grade-point-average (GPA) during the semester.
 
This marks the 10th straight semester the group had posted a GPA above 3.2 and the 3.352 is the second-highest recorded by the group since the 2008-09 academic year. It is only the sixth time the GPA has been 3.3 or higher with three of those coming in the past four semesters.
 
"On behalf of our student-athletes I'm pleased to recognize their academic achievements," Westminster Director of Athletics Shay Wyatt said. "These results demonstrate how our student-athletes effectively manage their academics and busy schedules. Congratulations to our student-athletes for continuing the tradition of meeting the academic standards set forth by our institution."
