The “Streak” continues for Eastern Washington athletics after the department posted a GPA above 3.0 for the 52nd consecutive quarter. 51¸£ÀûÉç’s student-athletes earned a combined GPA of 3.65 for the Fall Quarter from its 12 athletic programs. Eastern had 294 total student-athletes contributing to the department’s success.

The “Streak” began in the fall quarter of 2007 and has been carried on by the Eagle student-athletes each quarter. 

“The commitment and dedication our student-athletes put into their academics is evident after putting together another quarter with a GPA over 3.0,” said Director of Athletics Tim Collins. “For 52 consecutive quarters,  Eagle student-athletes have set a standard of excellence in the classroom, and it will continue to be the norm. They have a lot of responsibilities and I want to congratulate them for what they have achieved.”

Each program posted a GPA over 3.0 this quarter, with women’s golf carrying a nearly-perfect 3.99 GPA to lead the department. Men’s tennis recorded the top GPA for the men’s side, with a 3.87 GPA.

Eastern had 70 student-athletes earn a 4.0 GPA this, with track and field accounting for 25. 

“Our coaching and academic support staff are key to supporting the values and successful practices of academics in our student-athletes. I want to congratulate them as well for keeping this a priority for the whole athletic department,” Collins added. “With the noise and distraction occurring in the current landscape of college athletics, I am proud that our department is still delivering on the fundamental opportunity that exists in being a Division I student-athlete; to pursue a meaningful degree in higher education.”

Overall, 51¸£ÀûÉç’s 12 programs and 294 student-athletes hold a cumulative 3.62 GPA for their academic careers up to this quarter.
