Seattle University - Where Sports and Academics go hand in hand!
Seattle University Sweeps Academic Titles
Seattle University outpointed three-time defending champion Seattle Pacific to win its first Great Northwest Athletic Conference Academic All-Sports title since winning the title in the GNAC's inaugural season in 2001-02.
The Redhawks, who just completed their first season under athletic director Bill Hogan, posted the best cumulative team GPAs in men's cross country, men's soccer and softball and finished second in volleyball, women's soccer and women's cross country in earning 126 points.
Seattle University also won its first-ever men's and women's academic titles (they finished second in both divisions in 2001-02 when they won their first overall title).
"This honor is an indication of how serious our student-athletes feel about following the mission of Seattle University,†Seattle University Provost Dr. John Eshelman said.
“I congratulate the coaches and athletic staff for helping these young people and the faculty for challenging their students to be the best they can be in the classroom. Most of all, I congratulate the Seattle University student-athletes, as this is a significant reward for their hard work and dedication to their studies."
The Academic all-sports standings are based on the cumulative grade point averages of all the athletes on the official team rosters.
