COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Volleyball concluded another strong session in the classroom, posting a cumulative 3.29 grade point average in the Fall 2018 semester. The Tigers have surpassed a group 3.00 GPA in eight consecutive Fall semesters, dating back to 2011.
From Aug. – Dec. 2018, an impressive nine Tigers recorded a 3.00-plus GPA. Seven of those individuals exceeded a 3.50 GPA while one Tiger finished with an unblemished 4.00 mark in the classroom.
"We're very proud of our kids on the court and in the classroom this semester," Mizzou Volleyball head coach Wayne Kreklow said. "The Fall is tough for us as we are in full swing and the kids are slammed with work in the classroom and on the court, plus the travel and time away from campus. We had a very young group this season and for them to respond this way speaks well to the future here."
#Mizzou excels in the classroom yet again, finishes with a 3.29 GPA in recent Fall 2018 semester!
