COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - Westminster leads the way among Brechler Award winners for the second consecutive year, and the fourth time in the last five years, earning nine awards for the 2021-22 academic year. The Griffins claimed the top team GPA in women's basketball, women's cross country, men's golf, men's lacrosse, men's soccer, men's and women's indoor track and field and men's and women's outdoor track and field. Among Westminster's nine Brechler Awards, the Griffins' women's cross country program leads the way with a collective GPA of 3.831.

The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference has announced the winners of its 2021-22 Brechler Awards. The Brechler Awards are presented to the team that compiles the highest grade-point average (GPA) for each of its 21 league-sponsored sports.

The Brechler Awards are named in honor of Paul W. Brechler, a former RMAC commissioner (1976-90), and his wife Wanda Brechler, who were the first inductees into the RMAC Hall of Fame. Each team's GPA is calculated by dividing the total quality points by the total number of credits for each semester. Team GPA are submitted to the RMAC office by each institution's compliance administrator.
